Redundancy Coaching
Practical and emotional support to meet the challenge and opportunity of redundancy and move successfully into a fulfilling new role.
Are you searching for a compassionate partner during this challenging time?
Facing redundancy can feel destabilising, overwhelming and uncertain. My redundancy coaching support offers both practical career guidance and compassionate emotional support.
Redundancy Coaching is for you if…
You feel shocked or destabilised by unexpected change
You’re unsure what direction to take next
Your confidence has taken a knock
You want practical help and accountability to find your next role
You see this as an opportunity to realign with a more fulfilling role
I’m Rebecca - a compassionate career coach and partner through redundancy
I’m Rebecca Kirk, a Career Coach specialising in career transition and redundancy support. I work with individuals and organisations to provide both practical guidance and compassionate emotional support during times of change.
Having navigated my own corporate career transitions, I understand how unsettling redundancy can feel – for the individual experiencing it and for the organisation managing it. My approach is calm, holistic and human. I combine clear, practical career strategy with space to rebuild confidence, process change and regain a sense of direction.
Whether I’m supporting an individual one‑to‑one or partnering with HR to provide outplacement-style support, my intention is always the same: to help people move forward feeling valued, supported and ready for their next chapter.
How does Redundancy Coaching work?
I work with both private clients and organisations, delivering coaching on a One-to-One basis. I create a personalised programme which meets individual needs, based around some of the mindset and practical support areas below.
Every client has access to coaching worksheets and tools which support their ongoing development as well as guiding our sessions. The programme kicks off with a Work Life Assessment which enables clients to take an overview of their life and start making positive changes which can restore balance.
Sessions are held via webcam or in person in and around Manchester. The recommended frequency of sessions is either every week or every fortnight, depending on the client’s circumstances.
I offer 3, 6 and 9 session One-to-One Redundancy Coaching packages.

Forge Your Path: A Career Transition Coaching Framework for Success
Redundancy Coaching support is structured around my signature Forge Your Path career transition coaching framework – a grounded and empowering process that helps you move forward with clarity, calm and confidence. Based on the principles of my book You’re Here for a Reason, this framework also draws on 10 years of coaching experience, plus personal experience in navigating career transitions.
The process focuses on 3 stages which are vital for a successful and sustainable career transition:
Stage 1 – Grounding & Preparing
Acknowledging the practical and emotional impact of redundancy or job loss
Grounding with some new habits or practices which can bring calm and restore balance
Enabling a fresh perspective – seeing this as an opportunity to realign and move positively forward
Re-building confidence and belief in what is possible – moving through any resistance or limiting thought patterns
Stage 2 – Clarifying & Aligning
Reconnecting with who you are/what’s most important to you and what you want to do next
Clarifying what an aligned career path looks like and what could bring more fulfilment
Evaluating their skills and strengths and what is needed to re-enter the current job market
Exploring broad and specific career path options – including pivoting into something new
Stage 3 – Positioning & Planning
How to position yourself in the job market (inc. CV help, LinkedIn profile)
Who to reach out to – creating targeted lists of organisations and people
Exploring new and tried and tested ways to approach finding a new job
Setting goals and creating a plan to move into a new role
