Not necessarily! Many of our Reading coaches offer sessions via Zoom, Teams or phone. If you’d prefer to meet in person, we have coaches based across Reading, Newbury, Wokingham, Bracknell, and throughout the wider Thames Valley and Berkshire area.
Career coaching is a structured, one-to-one process designed to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and take meaningful action in your professional life. Your coach will work with you to understand where you are now, where you want to be, and what is getting in the way. Sessions typically cover areas such as identifying your strengths and values, clarifying your goals, working on your CV and LinkedIn profile, preparing for interviews, developing your personal brand, or navigating a career transition. Most coaching engagements run over several sessions, with each session building on the last.
Career coaching is not one-size-fits-all. Depending on your needs, you might benefit from a general career coach, an executive or leadership coach, a redundancy coach, a confidence coach, an interview coach, a career transition coach, or a life coach with a strong career focus. Our directory covers all of these specialisms and our referral service will match you with the type of coach that is most relevant to your specific situation.
Career coaching rates vary depending on the coach’s experience, background, and specialisation. Most UK coaches charge between £75 and £300+ per session, with packages typically offering better value for those committing to a longer coaching journey. Our directory is completely free to use, and most coaches offer a free initial consultation so you can assess the fit before making any financial commitment.
Our experts can match you with the right Coach for your goals
Simply visit our referral page and tell us a little about your goals, your situation, and what you are looking for in a coach. Our matching experts will come back to you within 48 hours with at least three vetted coach recommendations, each of whom will offer a free 15-minute discovery call. You choose the one that feels right for you — there is no obligation and no cost.
Our services are Free to customers searching for a Coach, and most coaches will offer a Free 15 minute Consultation, so they can tell you how they can help.
This depends on your situation. If you are thinking about a career change in the medium term and want time to explore your options carefully, booking a few months ahead gives you space to work through the process at a comfortable pace. If you are facing a more urgent situation — such as an upcoming redundancy, a job offer you need to evaluate quickly, or an interview process already underway — a coach can often accommodate you at shorter notice. We recommend getting started as early as possible so you have the most time to benefit.
