Your Professional Career Coach

About Cherry

Hi! I'm Cherry Douglas and I am a professional career coach.

I have been supporting people like you with career choice, career change and job search issues for over 20 years. I love the satisfaction of working with clients, helping them to explore and realise their career potential.

Having gained my post graduate diploma in Careers Guidance, I have gone on to work with clients of all ages from school students through to graduates, adult career changers and those returning to work after a break. My career duly took the typical route into a management position which I gradually realised was not giving me the fulfilment I wanted from my work.

Eventually, (yes, it took me time to admit it!) I acknowledged that I had lost touch with what I really enjoy – working one-to-one with real people trying to sort out their careers. So once again I decided I had to make a change of career direction.

I now work on a freelance basis and as a self-employed professional career coach, supporting others who are at significant career transition points.

Along the way I have continually developed my skills with relevant training including:

• Degree in Psychology
• Diploma in Careers Guidance
• Advanced Diploma in Personal Performance Coaching (distinction)
• Licensed Firework Career Coach
• Counselling Skills (CPCAB Level 3)
• Solution Focused Therapy
• Myers Briggs Type Indicator

I am a member of:

• The British Psychological Society
• The BPS Special Group in Coaching Psychology
• The Institute of Career Guidance
• The Association for Coaching

I recently recorded this short and informal interview with Nick Williams, author of The Work We Were Born To Do, and it gives you a flavour of my approach to my work.

Whether you want to undertake a major career review or simply need a bit of help with your CV, I hope I may have the opportunity to work as your professional career coach and to assist you in taking your career to the next level.
