I questioned whether I should stay in social work, felt low in myself, and knew I wanted more but didn’t know how to move forward. I enjoyed my role, but I also felt ready for a new challenge and a different career direction.
Through coaching, I experienced several powerful “aha” moments.
I built the confidence to go for a new job, recognised how much overthinking was holding me back and learned practical ways to manage it.
One of the biggest shifts was understanding what is within my control and what isn’t and developing strategies to step back when needed.
I also discovered how valuable reflection is for me. Writing things down became a key tool, helping me process my thoughts and move forward more clearly.
Having clear goals throughout the process kept me accountable and focused, which made a real difference in taking action.
The biggest change? I changed jobs.
I moved from feeling stuck and uncertain to stepping into something new with confidence and belief in myself.
What I’m Taking Forward
Stronger self-talk and self-belief
Confidence to ask for support
Clearer boundaries
Tools to manage overthinking
Ongoing reflection through writing
Continued growth through the Growth Hub and connecting with other social workers
What I Believe Now
I know I’m capable of more than I allowed myself to believe before.
I feel grounded in my faith, more confident in my decisions, and open to new opportunities.
For Anyone Thinking About Coaching…
Go for it.
I was anxious at first—I started with free workshops and then booked a call. Coaching gave me a space I don’t have elsewhere. I can’t speak as openly with colleagues or senior staff, but here I could be honest, reflect, and grow.
Thank you, Le’Siran I highly recommend coaching, it's a safe space.
