Career Support

Direction for your career

Career support, coaching and counselling go way beyond CVs and interview tips. They can help you get crystal clear on your strengths, values, and goals, and can be a powerful space to revisit and explore any blocks or patterns of behaviour holding you back. It’s also about uncovering where the joy has been in your career so far, because knowing that helps you craft a path that truly feels like your own.

With a background as a Talent Executive in Recruitment and hands-on experience as a TV and Welfare Producer (plus plenty of other roles along the way!), I specialise in crafting bespoke CVs across industries especially in media. I know exactly what recruiters and hiring managers want, and I’m passionate about helping you showcase your skills and experience so you stand out, whether you’re switching careers, feeling stuck, exploring new opportunities, or figuring out your next step.

I offer flexible 30, 50, or 90-minute sessions focused on mastering interviews, refining your CV, or clarifying your career direction.

No matter your role or experience, I’m passionate about guiding you to the career direction that feels right for you.

As a co-founder of the fantastic TV freelancer support group TV Switch Up, I’m well-versed in how to pivot and leverage transferable skills to unlock fresh opportunities, whether in TV, Film or beyond.

My areas of expertise here include:

  • Career coaching 
  • CV writing
  • Assisting with job applications and interview preparation
  • Addressing workplace bullying, harassment, and stress
  • Managing work‑related challenges and endings
  • Preparing for and returning from maternity leave 
  • Navigating careers whilst having children
  • Imposter syndrome
  • Navigating transitions (including redundancy)

Let’s work together to explore your next steps and accelerate your career success.

Cheryl and her advice transformed not only my CV, but my overall confidence and mindset. She gave tailored advice and guidance, and went far beyond the generic. I told her I was unconfident and unsure about what rate I should ask for, and that I felt men would always ask for more; she advised me on how to proceed and reminded me that while confidence does play a part, it is also up to employers to anticipate, recognise and adjust this discrepancy. Now that I’m in a position where I help hire and set rates, this is something I’m always mindful of; that men and women will sell themselves, and their potential, in very different ways.
Cheryl has transformed many CVs and careers but she has also done SO much more; she is one of the few standout people dedicated to changing the industry for women and mothers for the better, by giving them the confidence and know-how to navigate this challenging, ever-changing landscape. She is a true cheerleader. She is one of the reasons I haven’t left the industry.
