Find Your Way to Career Clarity With Donnan Coaching Services
Become the Candidate Employers Can’t Ignore
You’ve done everything right. Built a solid career. Put the work in.
But lately? Something’s off.
You might still be in a job but feeling restless, underused, or unsure if this is where you really want to be.
You might be coming back after a break, unsure how to re-enter.
Or maybe redundancy’s shaken your confidence, and you’re wondering what’s next.
Most of the people I work with are in a similar place.
They’re capable. Committed. They’ve worked hard to get where they are. But something no longer feels right.
Most of my clients feel this way before we work together.
They’re capable but craving more clarity, meaning, or direction.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone and don’t have to stay stuck.

I’m Paula, a career coach for skilled professionals who feel ready for more, whether that’s stepping into a new role, returning after a break, rebuilding after redundancy, or finally finding a better fit in the job they already have.
And if you're ready to step into job search, I offer the practical tools too — from positioning yourself for the right roles to refining your CV, developing a strong LinkedIn presence, and standing out to the right recruiters.
We'll also work on interview confidence so you're prepared and ready to perform, with clear answers reflecting your strengths and your impact.
Because you don’t have to stay stuck in a role that no longer fits, or sit in limbo, unsure how to move forward.

Hello there, I’m Coach Paula!
My career in guidance began at TWL Training Ltd, where I coordinated training programmes and supported learner development. This role ignited my passion for coaching and mentoring, leading to over a decade as an employability mentor and trainer before transitioning into career coaching.
In 2023, I founded Donnan Coaching Services to support individuals in building stronger, more fulfilling careers. Through personalised coaching, I help clients gain clarity, confidence, and balance as they work towards meaningful career goals.
Alongside running my business, I freelance as an Executive Coach for Executive Connexions and an Employability Advisor for GEMS NI, broadening the ways I support clients at different stages of their journeys.
I hold a BA (Hons) in Social Sciences from Queen’s University Belfast, a Professional Certificate in Personnel Practice, and a Diploma in Managing Training and Development. I also hold an ILM Level 5 in Effective Coaching and Mentoring, reflecting my dedication to helping individuals unlock their potential and achieve meaningful, lasting growth, both personally and professionally.
