Redundancy ends a job.
It doesn't end you.

Redundancy hits harder than expected even when it's not a surprise. It affects identity, confidence, routine, and sense of purpose all at once. The people who navigate it best don't go it alone, they get the right support early.

What coaching can do for redundancy and job loss

Coaching after redundancy starts where you are, whether that's in shock, relief, fear, or all three. It helps you process what happened, get clear on what you actually want next (not just what's available), rebuild confidence, and execute a focused job search or career change. Many people find that redundancy, worked well, becomes a genuine turning point.

People who have just been made redundant and are disoriented. People whose confidence took a hit even though they know rationally it wasn't about them. People who want to use the moment to change direction rather than just replace the job. People facing their first experience of job loss.

Signs coaching might help

Shock or disorientation following the news
Confidence knocked even though it wasn't personal
Uncertainty about what you want next
Fear about finances and the future
Wanting to change direction but not knowing how

Common questions

How quickly should I start coaching after redundancy?

As soon as you feel ready, which for many people is within the first week or two. Early support helps you make better decisions during the disorienting initial phase. You don't need to have a plan before you start.

Can coaching help me decide whether to take a similar role or change direction?

Yes, this is one of the most valuable things coaching does at this moment. It helps you separate what you actually want from what fear is pushing you toward.

Is redundancy coaching tax deductible?

In many jurisdictions, professional development and coaching is a deductible expense. Check with your accountant for your specific situation.
