Jerome De Clarence at Butterfly Coaching offers a unique style of career counseling.

One thing that stands out is his impressive background. Jerome’s experience as a professional football player and ultra-trail runner shapes his coaching. He focuses on performance, resilience, and personal growth.

This approach is a refreshing change from most career coaches.

In a session, he helps explore career goals, values, and motivations in a way that feels more like a natural conversation than a formal assessment. His approach is holistic, covering not just individual career planning but also how teams work together.

His decade-long international experience shows through, as he comfortably references different corporate environments and cultural contexts. This is especially relevant for professionals navigating careers in Hong Kong.

Being ICF-accredited also adds confidence that his coaching is professional and well-organized. He keeps things friendly and values-focused, making it easy to share openly.

Although virtual sessions have some limitations, Butterfly Coaching offers helpful and practical career advice.

Insightful, supportive

“I highly recommend Jerome as a life coach. In our work together focusing on career transition, he’s provided exceptional value in his ability to assess situations quickly and offer concrete tools, processes and plans of action to enable successful growth, change and resilience. I looked forward to and enjoyed our conversations: his positive attitude, flexibility and sense of humor made the sessions extremely enjoyable.”

Empathetic and professional

This is where my friend found someone who helped her with career guidance, so we asked her more about the experience and decided to explore Renewed Edge Counselling ourselves.

We were especially interested in how they combine career advice with therapy techniques in their approach.

Their team comprises certified counselors and hypnotherapists who apply methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and EMDR. This offers support for both career decision-making and overall personal growth.

During the consultation, the sessions encouraged reflection on strengths and career aspirations. My friend found it especially useful while facing stressful transitions and seeking clarity on her next steps.

We also liked that sessions are available in several languages, including English, Cantonese, and French.

Tools like the UpNow self-hypnosis app offer extra support between sessions, which makes the service easier to access.

While the range of services is impressive, the focus on therapeutic techniques may not suit clients looking for straightforward career advice without a psychological component.

Professional, effective

“Being skeptical at first, I gave a try to Hypnotherapy and Christine’s professionalism, expertise and experience has proven to be ultra efficient in an unexpected extend. After just one session she gave me tools to recover sleep which worked although I have been struggling with it through years. I also warmly recommend the therapist team at Renewed edge, in particular Cecilia, who is very skilled and her online counselling has been of great help to me. She constantly gives me tools and ressources to dig subjects we discuss and I feel like we work together in the same team helping me to achieve my goals.

Renewed Edge is a one stop Center where you can definitely find solutions you seek for with trust.”

Insightful and transformative

What we liked about Winnie Chiu is her dual background. She has over 18 years in psychology and life coaching, as well as 15 years in sales management across both multinational and local companies.

This combination gives her career counseling a unique edge. She blends deep psychological insight with practical, real-world experience.

Her career counseling goes beyond generic advice. She works with clients on career pathfinding, improving work performance, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Winnie uses techniques such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, emotion-focused therapy, and EMDR. This helps clients reflect on their strengths, clarify goals, and tackle professional challenges with confidence.

This makes her services especially valuable for families and young professionals seeking guidance tailored to different stages of life.

She blends career guidance with personal development. Clients we talked to said the sessions leave them feeling not just ready for their next job, but more self-aware and equipped to succeed in all areas of life.

The only consideration is her higher price point. While the rate reflects the depth and personalization of her sessions, it may be a barrier for some clients.

Professional and insightful

“Winnie is very professional, she guided me through the journey by asking questions, deep listening, and lots of fruitful discussions. Step by step, I find that I’m learning more about myself. Winnie guides me through discussions that inspire me to reassess some long-standing perceptions I have about myself and the world, and whether these perceptions are an asset or hindrance to daily life, career and relationships. Winnie’s office provides a high degree of privacy and has a relaxing ambience.

I would highly recommend Winnie if you are at a stage in life where you feel lost. Good luck and don’t be afraid to ask for help.”

Compassionate and adaptable

“Winnie has guided me through the roughest currents of my life. Without her professional guidance, I wouldn’t have known how to cope during those tough times. She is an attentive listener and will cater to different kinds of therapy methods according to my individual needs. If you are looking for someone to guide you through all walks of life. I highly recommend Winnie.”

Monica Browning brings a wealth of experience to career counseling through Courage Through Coaching.

With over 20 years in corporate HR and leadership coaching, she understands the pressures and decisions professionals face in fast-moving work environments.

We really love that her career counseling focuses on actionable strategies. She helps clients identify opportunities, overcome obstacles, and make decisions that align with their skills and values.

We also appreciate how she combines science-backed methods with compassionate curiosity. Clients said her guidance in integrating mind, heart, and body when making decisions was particularly helpful. 

We especially liked that her programs can be tailored to individuals, teams, and organizations. Options include 1:1 coaching, group sessions like “Finding My Clarity,” leadership development programs, and retreats.

Monica also gives complimentary 45-minute introductory calls that make it easy to explore the right format before committing. We think it is really helpful for those unsure about their next steps.

One limitation, though, is that sessions are offered in person only. This may not suit clients who prefer virtual options.

Transformative and empowering

“Working with Monica has been so transformative for me! I first started working with Monica to iron out some problems I was having at work, and since then I have completely transformed my life, quit my job and now run a successful consulting business. Monica showed me how to create my dream life and live in a way that’s aligned with my values and for that I am so grateful. The experience I’ve had with Monica is PRICELESS.”

Rach Yeung, Google Review

Compassionate and empowering

“Beyond her exceptional skills as a coach, Monica is one of the kindest people I have had the privilege of meeting. Her sincerity and genuine care for each of her clients shines through in every interaction. Working with Monica is challenging in the best possible way, as she gently nudges you toward self-discovery, all while creating an unshakeable feeling of safety and calm. I could not recommend working with Monica highly enough. From embattled employee to new business owner, none of that would be possible without the courage Monica helped me find within myself.”

Momentum Counselling Ltd. feels like a place where career guidance meets overall well-being.

Founded by Jill Carter and Patricia Toh, both integrative psychotherapists, the team brings a mix of professional experience and practical insight that makes sessions feel approachable and grounded.

Their career counseling goes beyond exploring next steps. It also addresses the stress and uncertainty that often come with professional transitions. We appreciated how evidence-based approaches are blended with real-life guidance.

They use techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT). They also do discussions about lifestyle factors such as sleep, exercise, and nutrition.

This holistic perspective helps clients think about their career decisions in the context of their overall well-being rather than just immediate outcomes.

Programs can be personalized, allowing clients to focus on individual career challenges or broader professional development.

We also found the sessions to be very flexible. They’re available both in person and online, and the team works with clients to create plans aligned with their values and goals.

Just a heads-up: you’ll be charged for a session if you cancel without at least 24 hours’ notice.

Empathetic and practical

“Patricia and Momentum Counselling has been instrumental towards helping me navigate through challenging periods of my life, as she is not only empathetic and thoughtful, but able to provide very practical advice that I could place to real-life practice right away.

I find Patricia to be a trusted confident – Her knowledge from career, life and personal relationships is very relevant and helpful to a finance professional too. Thank you, Patricia!”
