Purpose sessions are private, one-to-one counselling / mentoring sessions for your team to access. These confidential sessions will enable them to work through any challenges they are experiencing, both at home and at work.

They will meet with Steve Twinley, a qualified Counsellor & Psychologist who also worked for over 17 years in Recruitment and was MD of a specialist agency before setting up Purpose as a full-time business.

Not at all! Different support is available, ranging from a retained monthly service (with an agree number of hours to be allocated to your team as needed) to individual, ad-hoc sessions for specific individuals.

Purpose Mentoring was created with flexibility in mind. Purpose sessions are most effective when people want them, not when they have to have them. Some people will want weekly support, while others may want a monthly ‘check-in’ on their personal and professional development. You can purchase a number of sessions up front for your team, have a defined number of sessions that consultants can book per month, or book sessions on an ad-hoc basis - it is entirely up to you, and is something we can discuss.

The point of Purpose sessions is to give your consultants (and / or non-billing staff) access to private online sessions where they can talk confidentially about what is going on for them outside and inside of work. The content of sessions will therefore be kept completely confidential. You may not see an immediate ROI, but you should quickly see your team become more focused, better prepared for meetings, and more motivated. Not only this, but it can be a great benefit to advertise as part of your internal hiring strategy. How many of your competitors offer private counselling sessions to staff, with an experienced recruitment professional? In time, this will have a positive impact on reducing staff turnover and increasing the consistency of high billing!

Purpose sessions will benefit anyone in your team, including perm and contract consultants at all levels, business owners and back office teams.

Different programmes are available depending on your needs. For example, the Team Leader programme is proven to help new and experienced Team Leaders who are struggling to maintain their own billing while being responsible for other people too.

Purpose sessions are held by Steve Twinley, who worked in recruitment for over 17 years (2006-2023). Throughout his recruitment career, Steve placed people at all levels (entry-level to senior leadership), in both permanent and contract positions, in roles across the UK, Europe and US. These positions were in the life science sector, and Steve undertook assignments through a mix of contingent and retained models, some of which were direct with hiring managers, some through HR, and others through MSP and TA partnerships.

Have worked up to MD level, Steve’s experience includes rebranding an organisation, introducing a new CRM, negotiating contracts, agreeing invoice discounting / factoring deals, hiring and training new starters, and working with the leadership team to implement and develop values across the business.

The standard rate for a Purpose sessions is £65 per 50-minute session, with some discussion available depending on session numbers.

The billing structure will depend on your business requirements. We may agree, for example, to a retained monthly fee based on the number of hours for which you would like Steve to be available for your team.

If you would instead prefer for sessions to be accessed on a more ad-hoc, individual basis, this is also absolutely fine - we will discuss what is best for you. It is always advisable to begin with a trial for a small number of individuals first, before we introduce Purpose to others.

Please get in touch with Steve Twinley here for a discussion about different programmes available.
