Your Career Coach

I help you design a career that feels aligned, energising, and true to you.

If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain about next steps or quietly unfulfilled in your working life, you’re not alone - and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Whether you’re considering a career change, craving more meaning in your work, navigating a challenging workplace, or ready to stretch into your next level of growth, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll slow things down, get clear on what truly matters to you, and start moving toward a career that feels right for who you are now.

  • Career coaching that starts with you

    My work is grounded in the belief that there’s no one-size-fits-all path to a fulfilling career. We all need different things to thrive - and your career should reflect your values, strengths, and the life you want to live, not just what looks good on paper.

    As a Certified Career Development Consultant and ICF Coach, I support people through career change, growth, and mindset shifts that bring them closer to work they’re meant to do. I combine practical career tools with deep self-reflection, helping you gain clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of direction.

    A supportive, practical, and human approach

    With a strong understanding of the labour market and career development across industries, I’ll help you navigate real-world decisions - while also addressing the inner doubts, fears, and patterns that can keep you feeling stuck.

    Clients come to me when they’re:

    • Feeling flat or disengaged at work

    • Considering a career change but unsure where to start

    • Aiming for a promotion or leadership role

    • Dealing with stress, overwhelm, or loss of confidence

    • Wanting work that feels more meaningful and aligned

    Together, we create the conditions for you to thrive - professionally and personally.

    Let’s design a career that feels like yours.

A professionally written CV and lengthy conversations preparing for interviews led to 2 job offers! Highly recommended. A lot to gain if you’re looking at designing your career."

  • "I can’t remember the last time I met somebody that was so perfect for a role than Rosie Nelson is as a career mentor. It’s outstanding how she engages, provides examples of her advise to help you understand the value of applying it and how actively she listens to you so she can apply the maximum of her extensive knowledge in her sessions. I am so happy I found her. Rosie and the Hudson resources were, undoubtedly, the best and biggest benefit I’ll take from this program."

  • Rosie was so understanding from the first contact. Very quickly Rosie understood what it was I was looking even before I did! Rosie was very empathetic and compassionate towards my circumstances being unemployed and trying to forge a way to a new path. Her development of my resume and cover letters were excellent as Rosie has an in-depth knowledge of what recruiters are looking for in these times. I immediately started getting replies to my applications. It was worth the engagement to learn from Rosie. Thank you!

  • I'm so glad I went with Rosie. She is an excellent career counsellor, and a wonderful human being. It's refreshing to speak with someone real, skilled, empathetic and generous with her knowledge. She went over and beyond to listen, and help me clarify my path. After the session, she summarised my session, offered resources, and warmly encouraged me. Thank you Rosie. I'm very grateful.
