Welcome! I am Dr. Valentina Canessa-Pollard, specialising in helping individuals with career transitions, whether it involves pursuing ideal roles, exploring new careers, or re-training — all the while honouring their values and aspirations.
Together, we'll navigate challenges such as self-doubt, uncertainty and fear of failure, leveraging evidence-based psychology, as well as tapping into creative and sustainable practices, if you choose. With this tailored support, you will develop clarity, skills, confidence, and purpose.
Having walked my own path (see About me), I recognise the significance of taking your own space—gaining insights, surmounting obstacles, and remaining true to one's values. When you thrive, you also inspire others to do the same.
It's time to take your own space and create the future you envision.
I can help with:
Flourishing in new careers and further study that align with your values and aspirations
Entering / returning to work or academic study with confidence
Setting clear and attainable goals, both personally and professionally, to provide a roadmap towards what is meaningful to you
Enhance your skills in time management and organisation, without sacrificing your well-being
Cultivating Positive Habits that support your growth and well-being.
Integrating Sustainability in both professional and personal spheres, contributing to a healthier planet.
And more... my coaching is tailored to meet your unique needs and aspirations
