I’m Sunil, a Career Change Coach for Professionals
I help professionals who feel stuck or unfulfilled in their work to navigate career change with clarity and confidence.
For many years, I was in the same place—successful on the outside but disconnected from meaningful work. That journey led me to discover how to create a career aligned with my values and purpose.
Today, I support others in making that shift, helping them connect deeply to themselves and bring their unique creativity and gifts into the world.
My Story
My journey to becoming a career change coach — and aligning my work with my true self — has been both unexpected and transformative.
In my late teens, I thought I had everything neatly planned out: a successful professional career in IT as a Systems Analyst. But as I approached the end of university, my enthusiasm began to fade. Something in me was shifting — a yearning for deeper meaning, for work that contributed beyond myself. I couldn’t yet define what that meant, and with bills to pay, I defaulted to the safe option: IT.
A few years into my graduate job, it was clear I felt little satisfaction or meaning in my work. Yet quitting wasn’t an option. Fear, resistance, and the need for security kept me stuck. I’d sit at my desk, looping in endless mental circles — trying to inject meaning into my career or find a way out — but nothing shifted.
Career dissatisfaction and the search for meaningful work
I vividly remember Monday mornings (and Sunday nights, if I’m honest), heavy with the feeling that I didn’t belong in the sterile corporate world. Suits and ties felt suffocating. Even ironing a shirt on Sunday evening became a ritual of dread.
The frenetic pace of London, dreary commutes, and the lack of genuine human connection only deepened my dissatisfaction. I longed for space, stillness, and real connection.
Meanwhile, my body was waving red flags: tension locked into my left side, a mind that never switched off, and a growing lack of peace. Anxiety and fear ran the show. To compensate, I pushed harder into pleasures outside of work, but it all took a toll — my immune system weakened, and early signs of chronic fatigue and depression appeared.
Doctors couldn’t offer satisfying solutions. I realised change was imperative — and that I’d have to find my own way forward.
First steps toward career transition
I began experimenting. Volunteering. Trying out activities I loved. Listening to what my body and heart were telling me.
One turning point was starting a therapeutic arts project with a friend. It gave people space to express themselves and grow in self-awareness — and it helped me discover my own values. Slowly, I found work that felt aligned with my essence.
Eventually, I reduced my hours, then left my job altogether. It wasn’t smooth or easy — my first plan didn’t work out — but by then I had built the flexibility to seize new opportunities.
Life led me out of London, not to Spain as I’d dreamed,
but to a remote Scottish island I once swore I’d never live on. Two years later, I realised it was exactly where I needed to be.
The importance of letting go during a career change
What I learned is this: the magic unfolds when you release rigid expectations and start listening within.
Slowing down, meditating, tuning into my body’s wisdom, and creating mental space all played a role in my healing. When I stopped clinging to “shoulds” and began trusting life’s unfolding, things changed in profound ways.
From personal journey to career change coach for professionals
Looking back, I see that the journey itself matters more than the destination. Each step prepared me for the next — from therapeutic arts, to studying Art Psychotherapy, to eventually training as a coach.
And here’s the realisation that brought everything into focus: I was perfectly placed to support professionals who, like me years earlier, feel stuck in careers that don’t reflect who they truly are.
Helping professionals create meaningful work
Today, I work as a Career Change Coach for professionals seeking meaningful work and authentic self-expression.
I bring together my lived experience, my training as a coach, and my long-standing practice of mindfulness and meditation.
My role is to guide people through the uncertainty of career transition — helping them reconnect deeply with themselves, discover what truly matters, and create work that reflects their authentic essence.
This is not just about finding a new job. It’s about creating a life and career that feels meaningful, soul-aligned, and true.
What this means for you
If you’ve found yourself reading my story, there’s a good chance something in it resonates with you. Perhaps you feel stuck in a career that doesn’t reflect who you are. Perhaps you’re craving meaningful work that feels aligned with your gifts, values, and deepest self.
I’ve been where you are now — and I know how hard it can feel to take the first step. As your career change coach, I can help you navigate this transition, uncover your true direction, and create a working life that feels purposeful, alive, and real.
Because you don’t have to stay stuck. You can create work that matters — and I’d be honoured to walk alongside you as you do.
Why Work with a Career Change Coach?
Changing careers can feel overwhelming, especially for professionals who have invested years in their current path. A career change coach provides structured guidance, helping you clarify your direction, shift your mindset, and take practical steps toward meaningful work. By working together, you’ll uncover what truly motivates you, gain the confidence to move forward, and design a career that aligns with your values and strengths.

Before working with Sunil, I felt stuck in my career and overwhelmed by fear-based decisions. Through his thoughtful coaching, I’ve gained clarity on what meaningful work looks like for me and how to align my actions with my values. His words—and even his pauses—are incredibly thoughtful and inspire deep reflection.
I’ve had a breakthrough in understanding that I wasn’t truly feeling my feelings and have started to pay attention to them, which has been transformative.
His organized approach and detailed session notes add extra value. I now approach my career and personal life with more confidence, curiosity, and balance. I highly recommend Sunil to anyone seeking deeper self-awareness and alignment in their work and life.
Sunil worked with me to really identify my strengths and interests. Each session helped me shape a better idea and path towards the career change that I’ve been craving. What I enjoyed most about our sessions was how we managed to set measurable and action oriented objectives that have pushed me outside from just thinking in my head to actually creating and doing.
Sunil also helped me realise some fixations and limiting beliefs that I had with regard to how to achieve my goals. His coaching has been a great investment and continues to be a big support during this transition. Thank you, Sunil!
Thanks, Sunil, for your comprehensive guidance, even your silences are full of wisdom in giving the right space for one to look at oneself, rather than to others!
Sunil is a very heart-warming, humble and sensitive coach combined with strong energy that triggers the strings that you need to play to get ahead. He uses his ability to look into people’s big picture and how they are standing in relationship to that, to give them clarity in how to get to their next step and ahead.
He knows where you are at, with his intuitive way of tapping into what it is that you need to get going.
I never believed in coaches, or the need for a coach but he surely changed my perspective on that.
Sunil is a kind, generous and insightful coach who has helped me to realise things about myself that it might have taken me years to do on my own. Through intelligent and intuitive observation, listening and questioning, Sunil has helped me to feel more focused, clear about my aims and given me a deeper understanding of myself.
The coaching has helped me to set realistic goals, that feel doable and also allow me to see the progress I’m making. It’s helped me determine what I want to do, what’s the most important to me, why I feel the way I do in certain situations.
In such a short time I have gained so much from myself. I have learnt to open feelings that I have been suppressing and to gain a better understanding of myself.
I feel very blessed to have found Sunil at this moment in my life. This journey that we are on together is life changing for me. I truly trust Sunil and believe that he is a great coach. He is friendly, compassionate, reliable, respectful, without judgment, kind-hearted and smart. He also gets to the point fast!
Super thank you for helping me refocus my energy in life!
We worked on different topics and he managed each time to find a fitting way to connect with me and support me in my process.
His openness and his ability to see the real reasons under the surface helped me to dive deeper and gain different points of view.
His approach of being non-directive and the belief that the answers lie within you and the facilitation of a deep connection is what makes him special and high recommendable.
Sunil has helped me into a journey to become the person I want to be, instead of the person I thought I need to be.
This has translated in being able to make better choices in my life and in consequence getting to the places I want to be.
It is difficult to explain how the process works or how he does his “magic” the most important thing is to have a goal, trust him and let him guide you.
Sunil has helped me to clarify what I want to be doing and why, and supported me in taking concrete steps towards that reality.
I am profoundly grateful and highly recommend Sunil to anyone who is looking for a holistic approach to career counselling.
