Armed Forces Resettlement Coaching helps Service Leavers plan and navigate their transition from the military into civilian employment. Coaching provides structured guidance to help you identify suitable career paths, position your experience for civilian employers and avoid common mistakes like rushing into the first job available.

The aim isn't just to find a job, but to make well-informed career decisions so your transition out of the military sets you up for long-term success.

The Career Transition Partnership (CTP) provides valuable baseline support for UK service leavers, including workshops, training opportunities and access to job boards.

1:1 resettlement coaching is more personalised and strategic. Instead of general guidance delivered to groups, coaching focuses entirely on your individual experience, goals and career decisions.

It helps you translate your military background into the civilian market, identify the roles and industries that genuinely fit, and avoid common resettlement mistakes like rushing into the first job available.

Many service leavers use coaching alongside CTP resources when they want deeper clarity and a more tailored strategy for their transition.

Most service leavers benefit from starting resettlement coaching 12–24 months before leaving the military.

This gives you time to properly explore your options, translate your military experience into the civilian market, and make well-informed decisions about the roles, industries and lifestyle you want after service.

However, coaching can still be valuable at any stage of transition - whether you're in the early planning phase, approaching your final year, or already navigating the civilian job market.

The earlier you start, the more time you have to build a clear and confident transition strategy.

The length of coaching depends on the level of support you need during your transition.

Some service leavers choose a Resettlement Audit which is a one-off, focused session designed to review your current plan, identify any blind spots, and help you refine your direction.

Others work with me over a longer period through programmes such as the 6-week Transition Accelerator or the 6-month Service to Success Pathway, which provide deeper support as you clarify your direction, position yourself in the civilian job market, and prepare for interviews.

The right option depends on where you are in your resettlement journey and how much support you want along the way.

Yes. I work with service leavers from all branches of the UK Armed Forces, including the Army, RAF, Royal Navy and Royal Marines.

While each branch has its own culture and roles, the core challenges of resettlement are often the same - translating military experience into the civilian job market, understanding where your skills fit, and making confident decisions about your next career.

My coaching focuses on helping service leavers from any background navigate that transition with clarity and a well-structured plan.

Yes - many service leavers initially feel this way.

Often the challenge when leaving the forces isn’t motivation or capability. It’s working out what your experience translates to in the civilian job market and what direction actually makes sense for you.

The support I provide focuses on helping you step back, assess your options, and build a clear plan for your transition. That might include identifying suitable roles or industries, understanding where your skills fit, and avoiding common resettlement mistakes.

For some people this starts with a Resettlement Audit, which is designed to review your current thinking and help you move forward with more clarity and confidence.

My programmes are not currently funded through ELCAS or the Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme, as those are typically used for accredited courses and formal training.

However, some serving personnel are able to use Standard Learning Credits (SLC) to contribute towards resettlement support, depending on their unit’s approval and how the funding is applied.

Many service leavers choose to invest privately in personalised support alongside the training, workshops and resources available through the CTP.

If you're unsure whether SLC funding may apply in your situation, it’s worth checking with your chain of command or education centre before applying.

You can book a free 30-minute discovery call using the Contact form on my website.

These calls are designed to briefly discuss your resettlement plans, where you currently are in your transition, and whether my programmes are the right fit for you.

Before the call, I recommend reviewing the programme information on the website so you have a clear understanding of the support available.

That’s very common.

Many service leavers start resettlement without a clear civilian career direction. The challenge isn’t usually a lack of options - it’s understanding how your military experience translates into the civilian job market and which roles genuinely fit your skills, interests and priorities.

A key part of the work I do is helping you step back, assess your experience, and identify realistic career paths before you start applying for jobs.

Having that clarity early on can help you focus your efforts and avoid rushing into a role that isn’t the right fit.

Yes. Payment plans are available for my Transition Accelerator or the Service to Success Pathway.

Many clients choose to spread the investment over several months to make the support more manageable during their transition.

Full details of pricing and payment options are provided before you begin working together, and we can discuss what works best for you during a discovery call.

The Resettlement Audit is a one-off, focused session designed to review your current resettlement plans and help you move forward with greater clarity.

During the session, we assess your experience, the roles or industries you're considering, and how you’re currently positioning yourself for the civilian job market. We also identify any gaps, blind spots or risks in your current approach.

The goal is to help you refine your direction and leave with a clearer, more realistic strategy for your transition.
