You might recognise this ...
Your career made sense when you chose it. But you've grown, and it hasn't grown with you.
You're not sure what you want next and you've started to doubt your own judgement.
I can help you slow things down, make sense of things, and work out your next steps.
It’s a good job, but not a good job for you.
You might recognise this:
You’re thinking about change, but you’re not getting anywhere
You’ve been here before. You think it through, then go back to square one
You’re not sure if the problem is the job, the sector, or something else entirely
This is where we start.
Most people try to think their way to clarity.
They second-guess themselves.
They go back and forth between options.
They wait for the perfect answer before taking a step.
And nothing really changes.
I take a different approach.
I combine coaching with writing as a way of thinking.
Writing gets your thoughts out of your head and onto the page, where you can actually see them.
It slows things down just enough to notice what really matters.
Together, we use this to make sense of your ideas, work out which options actually fit, and decide what comes next.
Some people are ready to work through this with support. Others want to start on their own. Either way, there’s a route that fits.
Investment: £1200, or 3 monthly payments of £420 for the 10-session programme
Work out what comes next. Take confident action.
You know something needs to change.
But you feel stuck, unsure what you actually want or what to do next.
By the end of the programme, you’ll have a clear direction you trust and the confidence to act on it.
This programme helps you get clear on what matters, make sense of your options, and decide on a direction you can trust.
We do that through a structured coaching process, combined with writing as a way of thinking, so you can work things through properly and move forward with confidence.
£99 for the full 30-day programme
Get clear by writing. Move forward with confidence.
A 30-day guided writing programme to help you think clearly about your career and work out what comes next.
Instead of trying to figure everything out in your head, you’ll use directed writing to get your thoughts onto the page, explore your options, and take meaningful steps forward.
It’s not about writing for the sake of it. It’s a practical way to make decisions, build clarity, and move forward with confidence.
Most people come to me feeling stuck or unsure what to do next. They leave with a clearer direction and a next step they’re ready to take.
After changes in my sector and personal circumstances, I found myself questioning my direction and struggling with a loss of confidence. Working with Mark helped me get clear on my goals and put a plan in place. I now have a clear direction and feel much more confident about my next steps.
Katherine Hudson
Service Director
I came to Mark when I was facing redundancy and no longer enjoying my job. The coaching helped me refocus on my skills, values, and motivations, and gave me a clear direction. I now feel more confident about the decisions I’m making and the direction I’m heading in.
Andy Hill
Chartered Environmental Health Practitioner
I needed help figuring out my next move, and Mark was brilliant at helping me break things down and see new possibilities. The process gave me real clarity about my options and what to do next.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start.
That’s exactly what we work through together.
If you’re ready to get clear on what comes next, we can start with a conversation.
I’m Mark Crossfield, an accredited coach and licensed career coach specialising in mid-career change.
Before this, I spent 28 years as a civil engineer, leading teams and projects in local government. Like many of the people I now work with, I reached a point where something wasn’t quite right and I had to work out what came next.
That experience now shapes how I work with clients.
My approach is practical, thoughtful, and grounded. I help people step back, think clearly about their careers, and make decisions they can stand behind.
I’m also the author of Write Your Career and Mid-Career Change, two practical guides for mid-career professionals navigating change.
I also host the Mid-Career Change podcast, where I explore many of these ideas in more depth.
Outside of work, I enjoy walking, reading, music, and travelling with my wife Andrea.
