Hi, I'm Helen, a Fireworks-accredited career coach specializing in helping mid-career professionals build confidence, discover work they truly love, and empower them with the tools to make a meaningful career change.
My own career transformation began over 15 years ago when I left a well-paid corporate job that was quietly draining me. Despite the impressive title, company car, and the allure of golden handcuffs, the role left me anxious, stressed, and disconnected. It was a career I stumbled into in my 20s, but by my late 30s, it no longer aligned with who I wanted to be.
The idea of leaving was terrifying — I worried about giving up the security and status. But the growing desire to make a positive impact, combined with the toll the job was taking on my mental health, pushed me to reconsider. The corporate culture that once excited me no longer felt right.
Then, everything changed. A chance introduction to a career coach and a series of transformative coaching sessions helped me see new possibilities. I realized how life could look outside that role and, most importantly, how to make the leap.
That experience inspired me to become a career coach myself. Today, I use a proven career change program to guide others through their own journeys of self-discovery and professional growth.

Nicky, 42, Graphic Designer , Bristol, UK
After 16 years working as a designer for one of the UK’s leading children publishers the company was suddenly folded. I was luckily introduced to Helen to help me find another job.
Helen is a fantastic listener and
initially we talked about my experience and my feelings of being made redundant.
Helen was very understanding of my circumstances and helped me work through the million thoughts and concerns I had about finding a new job.
Should I work freelance? look for new employment immediately? Should I change career?
Using Helen’s techniques I could clearly process my thoughts and ambitions.
With regular catch up chats and emails Helen helped me have the confidence, drive and strategy to quickly find a new role.

I am so grateful to Helen for helping me achieve something I never thought possible, getting a job I once believed was out of my reach. As a middle-aged woman with little confidence, I doubted my chances of standing out in the job market.
From the very beginning, Helen was patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in my success. She took the time to understand my skills and goals, helped me improve my CV, and gave me invaluable advice for interviews. Most importantly, she believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.
Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, I not only got the job but also regained my confidence. I can’t thank Helen enough and highly recommend, Helen at My Time to Shine to anyone who feels unsure about taking the next step in their career.

Career coaching with Helen has been the answer to someone like me who is stressing over "What to do next?" and in the end you feel so frustrated and weighed down by it all that you get nowhere.
But I am so happy that I went with your program because it was simple, it worked..it took all the fuss away and started (literally) on a clean sheet!
I highly recommend Helen to anyone in a similar situation. Her brilliant work will be able to steer them into new and clearer waters.
