Career Clarity Sessions
A 1:1 strategy session to help you cut the noise.
Reframe your confidence and leave with an action plan.
“Mel really listened during our session, not just to hear me complain - but with a purpose. Through her guidance I was able to see that although it does feel like I'm lost in the forrest - I absolutely just can't see the forrest for the trees. As a 3 year PAE, I was feeling stuck and like I could not progress in my career. Mel helped me understand my options and challenged my view points to open my mind in other ways (non-traditional) that my career can progress.”

What Clients Say
“I walked into the session feeling overwhelmed and walked out with a clear plan.”
Junior In-House Counsel, Sydney
“I kept second-guessing every decision. Mel helped me get clear on what I wanted and gave me the exact steps to move forward. It felt like a reset button for my career.”
“Mel is the first coach I’ve worked with who actually understood the realities of being a lawyer.”
Senior Associate, Brisbane
“I’d worked with career coaches before but Mel got it straight away. She knew the pressures, the politics and the doubts. I felt seen and I left knowing how to handle a promotion conversation with confidence.”
“In less than one hour I gained more clarity than months of overthinking on my own.”

Not sure what to expect?
These FAQs cover everything you need to know before booking your session.
What is a 1:1 career strategy session?
It’s a focused, personalised session where we work through your career challenges or goals together. Think of it as having a career coach and mentor in your corner who understands the legal industry and the realities of career transitions.
Who are these sessions for?
They’re designed for law students, junior lawyers, mid-level lawyers and senior lawyers who want clarity, strategy or confidence around their next career step. If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or ready to level up, this is for you.
What happens in the session?
When you book, you’ll fill out a short pre-session form so I understand your goals. During the session, we’ll map out where you are now, where you want to be and the steps to get you there. You’ll leave with practical next steps, reframed confidence and a clearer path forward.
How long does the session go for?
Each strategy session runs for 45 minutes. We cover a lot in that time and I’ll make sure you leave with clarity and an action plan.
What do I need to bring?
Nothing formal, just yourself and a willingness to talk openly about where you’re at. If you’d like feedback on your CV, Linked or job applications, have those ready to share.
How is the session delivered?
Sessions are held online via Google Meet, so you can join from anywhere. If you can’t find a time the suits your timezone, please let me know! I am available worldwide.
What if I’m nervous or not sure what to ask?
That’s normal. I’ll guide the conversation and ask the right questions to draw out what matters most to you. You don’t need to have it all figured out before we start.
Do I get anything after the session?
Yes, I’ll send you a tailored file note after our session that captures key takeaways, reframes and next steps, so you don’t have to scribble notes while we talk. If you like, I can record our session and send you the full transcript too.
What’s the difference between this and ongoing coaching?
A single strategy session is great if you want clarity or a plan on a specific challenge. Ongoing coaching is for lawyers who want deeper accountability, confidence building and longer-term support across career moves and brand-building. Email me to discuss your needs and budget.
What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens. You can reschedule up to 48 hours before your session.
If this feels like the support you’ve been looking for, the next step is simple: book your session above and let’s get to work!
