Coaching for healthcare professionals by healthcare professionals

What is Career Coaching?

If you’re feeling stuck, career coaching will help you find clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually works for you. For many people, the destination is not yet clear, which is where coaching helps most. Over 6 to 12 weeks we follow a structured programme that moves you from confusion to clarity. We use the Firework programme, an evidence-based approach, and trusted format used by coaches worldwide. There are three stages we work through:Explore
We start by getting clear on who you are, what matters most, and what you want from work and life. You leave this stage with a solid picture of your values, strengths, and needs.Dream
We open up possibilities and generate fresh career options in creative, practical ways. This is where ideas expand and new routes appear.Discover
We choose the best direction and build a step-by-step plan. You finish with a clear route from today’s position to the choice you have made, with milestones and first actions.

John is an early-career NHS doctor. He’s proud of his work, but the rota, nights and constant firefighting are draining him. Home life is suffering and he worries he’s “wasting” his training if he changes path.“I love medicine, but not like this.”Explore
We mapped his strengths, values and motivators. He enjoys teaching, clear thinking and improving how care is delivered. He wants balance and time to do good work.Dream
We opened up options: a role with a weekly teaching day, a research or quality role alongside clinics, a move to a calmer specialty, or a simple portfolio week with one non-clinical day.Discover
We chose two routes and set a simple plan: talk to three people already doing these jobs, arrange one shadow day, refresh his CV to show teaching and small improvement wins, and agree a rota trial with fewer nights. Weekly check-ins kept him moving.The Outcome?
Within eight weeks John arranged a regular teaching day and moved onto a rota with fewer nights. Three months later he secured a six-month teaching post alongside three clinical days. He has energy again and a clear direction.

Clinician & Career Coach
Shaen Milward

You’re in safe hands with an experienced, HCPC-registered occupational therapist and career coach. I hold a Master’s in Education, have taught coaching at Master’s level, and work as a contemporary, evidence-informed coach. My background spans extensive inpatient and community practice, plus senior NHS leadership and third-sector work. I’m also a Licensed Firework Career Coach and a trainee psychotherapist, which means I blend clear structure with real psychological depth.And the truth that matters most? I’ve lived this change. I moved out of the NHS, built my own practice, priced my value, and learned how to do meaningful work without burning out. I know what the fear feels like and what the freedom after a good decision feels like too. I can help you make your move with clarity and confidence.
