Why Work with Me?
Expert Career Coaching to Help You Find Clarity, Confidence and Fulfilment at Work
Work shapes so much of our lives — more than 100,000 hours over a typical career. Yet many people spend longer choosing a house or car than thinking about whether their work truly fits them.
If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, unfulfilled or ready for a fresh start, career coaching can make all the difference.
I support professionals who are:
exploring a career change or career transition
preparing for an important job interview, assessment or promotion
developing leadership skills through executive coaching
struggling with stress, burnout, wellbeing or confidence at work
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
My coaching is tailored, practical and grounded in psychology. I use a blend of career counselling, coaching, psychometric assessments and tools such as the Highlands Ability Battery to help you understand your strengths, motivations and career direction.
As a Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapist, I also offer evidence-based strategies for managing interview nerves, presentation anxiety, workplace stress, insomnia and mindset challenges — giving you the clarity and confidence to perform at your best.
Everyone deserves to feel happy, confident and fulfilled at work. My role is to help you take meaningful steps towards a career and working life that genuinely supports your wellbeing and potential.
About Me – Diana Dawson
Accredited Master Coach | Coaching Psychologist | Career Change Specialist
I’m Diana Dawson, founder of Working Career. I’m an Accredited Master Coach with the Association for Coaching and a Coaching Psychologist with more than 20 years’ experience in:
Career coaching and career change coaching
Executive coaching and leadership development
Interview coaching and preparation
Career counselling and psychometric assessment
Wellbeing at work and resilience coaching
I help mid-career and senior professionals build clarity, confidence and direction — whether they’re changing career, navigating organisational change, preparing for interviews, or wanting to feel more grounded and motivated in their work.
My coaching style is warm, practical and supportive. I combine psychological insight with clear action steps to help you make decisions that feel aligned with who you are and where you want to go.
Outside of coaching, you’ll usually find me outdoors with my horse, Tommy, or training for long-distance open-water swims. These endurance challenges shape my approach: steady, encouraging and focused on building resilience and self-belief.
My mission is simple: to help professionals and organisations create fulfilling, sustainable and meaningful working lives.
