ABOUT STEPHANIE OZUO

I'm Stephanie Ozuo, a qualified careers adviser, author, and neurodiversity advocate with over 13 years of experience across higher education, tech, the creative industries, professional services, and the non-profit sector.
I primarily support women, neurodivergent people and people from the global majority.
My work is grounded in trauma-informed, decolonial, and anti-oppressive practice. I consider the systemic forces of patriarchy, capitalism, and anti-Blackness that shape our working lives, and I meet you where you are, not where you're "supposed" to be.
I hold a Master's degree in Career Development and Management, with research focused on Adult ADHD in the workplace. My work is informed by both academic research and lived experience, giving me a deep understanding of how neurodivergence can shape careers, confidence and working life.
Creativity has always been central to my work. Alongside my careers practice, I've founded the community film club Black Femme Film and the creative agency Hue and have worked as a creative director and consultant.

My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and informed by career development theory and other evidence-based frameworks. I work with a limited number of clients to ensure everyone receives dedicated, high-quality support throughout their journey.
Whether you're changing direction, rebuilding your confidence or making sense of a non-linear career path, we'll work together to uncover the strengths in your story and build a career that aligns with who you are.

SPECIALISMS:
· Career Transition
· Neurodiversity in the Workplace
· Confidence Building
· Career Exploration
· Entrepreneurship and Remote Work

WHAT THIS SESSION LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE

CLIENT 1 : GOVERNANCE TO TECH (AI & CLOUD DIRECTION)
A client from a governance background wanted to move into tech without starting over. Through the Role Clarity process, we reframed their experience in compliance, auditing, and stakeholder management, exactly what makes them valuable in AI governance and cloud environments. They left with three clear pathways and a completely shifted mindset.CLIENT 2 : MARKETING TO STRATEGY & TRANSFORMATION
A marketing and communications professional felt stuck between several directions. As we worked through the process, a consistent pattern emerged in systems thinking, cross-functional coordination, and strategic communication. We identified Marketing Transformation as their primary focus, with Customer Strategy and Brand Strategy as adjacent directions. They could see their value far beyond their job title.

THIS SESSION IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF YOU:
· Feel uncertain or stuck about your next career move
· Are considering a career pivot but lack clarity on direction
· Want to understand how your current experience translates into other roles or industries
· Need structure and expert guidance before committing to a longer coaching programme
