Space to think. Support to move forward.

Career coaching and mentoring for people in tech and digital.

What comes next doesn’t have to be something you work out alone.

You might be weighing up a career move, finding your way as a leader, or trying to make work fit you better. We can start with whatever is on your mind.

30 minutes to talk about what you need and see whether we’re a good fit.

Hi, I'm Andy.
A certified coach with more than 20 years' experience in digital products and services.

Start where you are

You don’t need to arrive with a plan.

A question, a difficult decision or a feeling that something needs to change is enough.

“What do I want next?”

The next career step isn’t obvious. You want space to consider your choices, what matters to you and what a different direction could look like.

“More responsibility. Now what?”

Leading people brings new expectations, relationships and decisions. You want someone outside the day-to-day to think things through with.

“Can work fit me better?”

You’re spending energy meeting other people’s expectations. You want to explore what helps you do good work without losing sight of yourself.

Your unique experience

Different ways
to think things through.

Conversation. A sketch. A different perspective.

Sometimes talking is enough to make a situation clearer. Sometimes it helps to put things on paper, draw the relationships between them or try a creative activity. We can explore what works for you.

Coaching gives you space to examine your thinking and choices. Mentoring can bring another person’s experience into the conversation. We’ll agree which kind of support is useful.

If you’re neurodivergent, we can talk about what helps you think and communicate comfortably. You decide what to share. You don’t need to fit a particular way of working—or choose a different service—to be welcome.

More about the coaching approach

Working together

Coaching around you.
Not a package to fit into.

Start with a free conversation. We’ll talk about what you’re looking for and what working together could involve.

A focused session

An hour to think things through

Time to explore a particular question or decision, consider your options and choose your next steps.

Includes an invitation to check in over the following 30 days.

Ongoing coaching

Room to explore further

For questions that need more space, or support as you put your thinking into practice.

We’ll discuss the fee, session rhythm and support involved before you decide whether to go ahead.

We’ll discuss fees during your free consultation, before you commit to any coaching.

Let’s talk about what you need

In their words

What people have said

I always feel supported, empowered, and celebrated as an individual. I am incredibly lucky to have Andy as my coach, and I can’t think of anyone I’d rather have to help me dust myself off each time and head back into the arena.

Maya Sellon, Inclusive Design & Digital Accessibility Principal
Shell International

Andy worked with my team to coach and support them on all things relating to user-centred design. A real professional, he brings a challenging and frank perspective, along with an amazing set of skills.

Geoff Mills, Digital, Data and Process Excellence Director
EDF Energy

I was having one of the most difficult times in my career and Andy helped me get through it and arrive at a much better place. His assertive positiveness provoked so much awakening and confidence in me, and I'm sure many of you would experience the same.

Meet The UX Coach

I'm Andy Parker, a certified coach with more than 20 years' experience in digital products and services. I've worked in design and research, led teams and navigated the changes that come with taking on more responsibility.

My own experience of coaching helped me understand myself and my working relationships differently. It was part of the journey that led to my autism diagnosis and, later, to becoming a coach.

Today, I bring that experience, curiosity and a creative approach to conversations about your work. You don't need to have followed a straightforward career path. Neither have I.

A conversation, first

What’s on your mind?

You don’t need to know exactly what to ask for.

Our free 30-minute consultation is a chance to tell me what’s happening, ask questions and see whether we’d work well together.
