I invite a former client and friend to come and share her career transition story with you.

Amy and I first met in our old lives, when she was one of my PR clients. Years later, she became one of my coaching clients, when she was seeking a career change that would make her truly happy.

Today, after 18 years as a communications and public relations professional in IT, Amy is a registered physiotherapist. As you can imagine – that is quite a big change!

In this conversation we talk about what she was originally doing, and why she felt stuck, and she shares the three big life events that personally led to her review her career path and seek out a change.

You’ll also hear how she made the decision to become a physiotherapist and the training that it entailed, and we get into how she feels now that she’s actually in her new career!

Come join us.

Amy McLean is a community physiotherapist, with a particular focus on care of the elderly for a London Borough NHS Trust.

After nearly 18 years working in corporate communications for the tech industry, Amy chose to pursue a vocation in healthcare, returning to university and graduating with a first-class honours in BSc Physiotherapy from St Mary's University Twickenham in 2023.

An advocate for population health and health equality, Amy has guest lectured at London universities and at The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy student conference with the hope of inspiring the next generation of physiotherapists.

Amy's choice of healthcare vocation stems from a lifelong interest in exercise physiology, a deep personal drive to help and care for others, and a desire to apply transferable skills accrued throughout her career in problem solving, relationship building, and communication.
