Career Coaching for
Life’s Key Transitions
Are you:
-
Finishing university and unsure how to start your career?
-
Feeling stuck in your job and thinking about a career change?
-
At mid-life, ready to explore new directions and rediscover purpose?
I help people at turning points in their career find clarity, confidence, and a path forward.
My Approach
Every client is different, so every coaching journey is tailored. We start with a chemistry session to see if we’re the right fit. From there, I’ll guide you with proven career frameworks, practical tools, and one-to-one support — in person or by video call.
My clients typically leave with:
-
A clear sense of direction and goals
-
Practical strategies for career transitions
-
Renewed confidence in their strengths

Mark, Dublin
"David's coaching approach came from a place of empathy, with helpful nudges and advice throughout. I can gladly recommend his help for anyone looking to make a change to how approach things."
Diane, Limerick
"I quite literally changed my idea of what a career is all about …[David] gave me a framework for re-thinking my whole approach, I went from feeling like a snail to a young puppy. My only regret is not doing this earlier.
Anne, Cork
"The main benefit for me was how David was able to give me the mental space to change how I thought about myself and my own values … this was a gamechanger for me personally"
