Re-ignite Your Passion for Working in Health-care
You’ve built a career in caring for others—but lately, it feels like something’s missing. If you’re a mid-career health professional feeling depleted, unfulfilled, or uncertain about what’s next, you’re not alone.
My personalised and compassionate coaching approach helps you reconnect with your purpose, re-ignite your passion, and re-imagine a more fulfilling path forward.
This isn’t how it was supposed to feel
You’re experienced, capable and deeply committed to working in health-care. But somewhere along the way your passion has faded – NHS Staff data shows you’re not alone.
Maybe you’re feeling depleted, stuck in a role that no longer fits, or unsure how to move forward without starting over.
Mid-career needn’t feel like a dead-end – it’s okay to pause, reconnect and re-imagine what’s next.
You’re not broken. You’re evolving. And you don’t have to navigate this alone.
The cost of caring is high
30% report burnout because of their work.
34% find their work emotionally exhausting.
41% report having felt unwell as a result on work related stress in the last 12 months.
Feeling motivated & valued at work is missing
55% look forward to coming to work.
54% are satisfied with the recognition they get.
Not feeling valued is the 2nd biggest reason professionals leave health-care before retirement age.
Focus on development is disappointing
Over 80% get some form of annual professional development review.
30% find the reviews useful.
Lack of development opportunities is another reason professionals leave health-care before retirement age.

“Although career wise I haven’t moved jobs or been promoted that is definitely in the pipeline and I have a clearer vision of my career plan. Spending time with Vardeep has been deeply positive for me both personally and professionally. Vardeep is clearly very skilled as a coach and is kind and empathetic in her approach. I have felt a real sense of being supported to grow in my current role. I am in an organisation going through a restructure and I am sure being coached by Vardeep kept me feeling calm and in control. I feel more certain now of my abilities and am so grateful that Vardeep was my coach, I would highly recommend her to others. Vardeep is a class act!”

“I really enjoyed being coached by Vardeep for 5 sessions over what I knew would be a particularly busy time in my life, adjusting to a change in job role and starting a university course alongside other commitments. By creating time and space to explore how I could best approach this period of time I was able to come up with some really helpful strategies that have not only helped me manage my work/life/study balance but will help me to maintain sustainable rhythms in the future.”

“It has helped opening up my eyes on the opportunities ahead and how exciting the journey of not knowing can be. Coaching with Vardeep helped me stay in the present and appreciate the value that being in the moment can be.”

“Working with Vardeep has been a great experience. I felt safe and encouraged to self-reflect with space to discuss my concerns or ideas and plans. I felt in control of the pace and format of the coaching engagement, as well as empowered to reach independent conclusions without ‘projecting’ from the coach. It has been a very enriching experience which gave me direction and confidence to move forward in my professional career, as well as increased my sense of self-awareness/confidence.”
“Vardeep helped me greatly to frame a decision I was trying to make about what direction to take my career. She was very kind in her approach and I always felt supported to think about my decision from different angles.”
