Licensed Firework coaches

Becky Kilsby

Exeter (UK) and via Skype or Zoom calls for other locations

As a qualified career practitioner with experience in the UK and Dubai, I coach professionals who have reached a natural hiatus in their career, especially women returning to paid employment after a break, expats in transition to new locations, and 'escapees' wanting to explore a second or third more fulfilling career direction. I've developed 3 successful careers over 3 decades and across 2 continents, so I understand change and how to re-design life to match how we evolve over time.

As a career change coach I'm approachable, creative and focused. With a positive and global outlook, I love helping clients ignite their values, recognise their achievements and purpose to re-design the life and work in which they can thrive.

Joanna Jacobs

Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Wiltshire

Coaching specialism: individuals experiencing career transition, or who want to do more of what they love, particularly after career break. 

Coaching style: I am a warm, attentive and intuitive coach, focused on the individual as a whole. I experienced my own career transition since having my daughter four years ago (from Corporate HR to freelance coaching and facilitation) I am energised by helping others to capitalise on the opportunity a career break can give for reigniting passions and discovering new ones! 

Helen Burgess

Cheshire based, offering face to face coaching in Manchester, Lancashire and North Wales. Skype coaching available countrywide.

I specialise in coaching individuals at pivotal moments in their career; enabling them to grow their confidence, expand their skills and build their resilience to thrive, rather than just survive through transition.

I offer a range of coaching options, from one off help as a ‘thinking partner’ to a programme over several months that offers a deep personal ‘exploration’, using psychometrics and neuroscience to uncover your strengths and values. At the end of the coaching programme you will have gained clarity in your thinking and a focused action plan that you feel confident, excited and energised to move forward. The first consultation to examine what you are drawn to (or are being driven from) is always free.

My career coaching is ideal for:
• Mid-career professionals who are successful but not fulfilled in their current role
• New graduates looking for career direction
• Men or women returning to work after a career break

Mercedes Mezquita

Madrid, Spain

I'm an executive coach, specialized in Career change, development and change management at work and stress management.

I believe in people's potential. My coaching style is focused on strengths' development. In the process I facilitate the elimination of clients' limitations, so that they can achieve their goals. My style is sensitive, sensible and goal orientated.

Nathalie Britten

Based in Gloucestershire UK but work all over Europe

My mission is simple. I want to help successful people achieve positive and lasting change for themselves and those they interact with. Whether I am working with individuals or teams, I support people to truly live and work with passion and enjoyment, building genuine connections that not only benefit workplace performance but have a positive impact in all aspects of their lives. With over a decade of experience supporting people to overcome limiting beliefs and reach their full potential, I do this because I want to create a ripple that not only changes the lives of those that I coach, but also inspires those around them.

“Nathalie played an integral role in my career change and without her I truly believe that I would not be where I am today. Her bubbly personality and eagerness to go the extra mile really made my dealings with her a true pleasure. I felt that she really cared about me and my success. Nathalie is a very special person and I highly recommend her”.

Marina Burton

London and Surrey

I believe everyone deserves to find their 'why' in life. I work with passionate, young professionals predominantly in their 20's and 30's to help them find fulfilling, meaningful work. This can mean helping you navigate a career change, developing your existing role, starting your own business or anything in between.

I offer a structured and comprehensive approach, enabling clients to understand what they want from their careers, what they're capable of, and an explorative process to discover new career pathways. We would typically work together over three to six months depending on the pace you feel comfortable with. I also offer bespoke programmes starting from six weeks.

Sessions typically take place online, but I also work face to face in the London & Surrey area.

Nicola Moss

Dorset, UK

I work as a Systemic Coach and Constellations Practitioner​ supporting individuals and heart-led businesses to clear energetic blockages and illuminate their path forward.

What does it mean to work systemically?

Each of us belongs to a multitude of systems; the family we’re born into, the friendships we cultivate, the teams we work with, and the cultures and communities we engage with.

The overlapping beliefs, standards, values and expectations that we inherit from these systems shape our emotional DNA, and, therefore can inform our dynamics and behaviours invisibly from behind the scenes.

Systemic coaching invites us to look under the surface of these relationships and explore the ways in which our internal and external worlds interact with each other. Through tapping into our embodied sense of knowing we can access information about where and how we stand in connection to it all; and most importantly, we can make changes.

Gemma Rogers

Cheltenham

I support adults through mid-life career change and students reconsidering their direction during or after University.

Wherever you are in life, you want to make a change in your career, but don’t know how or where to start. Perhaps you’re experiencing a lack of confidence and sense of feeling stuck. Having experienced my own sense of unease within my previous career in fashion, I understand that change can feel big and scary! I attribute my big career shift down to my own work through the Firework programme.

I became a licenced Firework Career Change Coach in 2018 and am also a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and Children's and Young Person's Counsellor. Change often comes with a lot of anxiety and stress and I combine my coaching with more therapeutic work to support you through the challenges you face.

Jill Walker

Ireland

I specialise in coaching two groups of people - CEOs, founders and C suite executives who want more meaning or balance in their lives or who want to use their talents in a different way. 

I also work with high achieving, hard working women who know they are holding themselves back in some way in their work or their life. I help you bring out the kick ass woman in you and help you achieve what you REALLY want from your "one wild and precious life" (Mary Oliver, poet).

Su Prentice

Aberdeen, Grampian, Scotland

I specialise in Personal Development, Life Coaching, Career Coaching, Management Development, Psychometrics and Executive Coaching.

My coaching style is personal and warm, professional and purposeful, flexible and focused, fun and real.
