Cecilia Garnett Career Coaching

Working with mums and young people to build confidence, clarity and careers they love.

I’m Cecilia, a Career Coach, who’s passionate about helping people take confident steps towards fulfilling careers – whether they’re returning to work, changing paths, or applying for their very first job.

As a mum myself, I understand how hard it can be when you feel stuck, unsure of your next move or held back by that ever-critical inner voice. I work with women who want more – more clarity, more confidence, more purpose – and who are ready to rediscover their strengths and take practical steps toward a role they genuinely enjoy.

I also support their children – teenagers, school leavers and recent graduates who are just starting out. I’ve recently co-designed and delivered a 6-week Employability Essentials programme, empowering young people by giving them the tools and skills they need to stand out in the job market – from CV and cover letter writing to job searching, applications, interview prep and building that essential inner confidence.

With over 15 years’ experience in recruitment – both in fast-paced London recruitment agencies and later in-house as Head of Talent for a group of leading media agencies – I’ve seen the job market evolve dramatically. These days, it’s not just about having the right skills – it’s about navigating Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), standing out in a crowded market and getting your CV in front of an actual human. It’s tough out there, and that’s where I come in.

I focus on helping my clients identify their natural talents and strengths. Working out what your values are and what motivates you. Figuring out what's important to you in life and in a possible career helps to focus the mind on what types of jobs and companies would suit your ambitions and personality best. Helping you to understand what transferrable skills you possess and how these can be utilised in different careers is a game changer and provides the framework we need to think more broadly about your options.

I want to empower my clients to take the necessary steps to move forward in their careers by building confidence . I do this by holding a metaphorical mirror up to them to show just what they are truly capable of. I think of myself as being your 'wing woman' where you are in the driver's seat and I am there to help support and navigate the road ahead. We start together, but I want you to pass the finish line by yourself, as a more focused, more confident and successful person – having learned more about what you are truly capable of and able to recognise your own personal achievements, past and present, for what they are.
