Career Counselling and Coaching in Campbell River, British Columbia.

Its been suggested that over our period of working life, we will undertake at least 3 significant career changes. These transitions are seen as one of life's more significant stressor events. Sometimes such a commitment can seem overwhelming. If you are at that point in your life and considering a job/career change, you may want to seek guidance from a professional counsellor. We can help identify issues at hand, and alleviate the stress of managing such a significant life event. The advantage to using the services of a counsellor is that we can be objective, and respectful as to your immediate needs, and therefore help problem solve around how to best manage/prepare for what is to come.

Are you feeling lost over where to go in your career? Do you find yourself stuck debating practicality vs. what you really want to do? Is it hard to even connect with what you want to do at all? These dilemmas, as well as the overwhelm that comes with career transition, are the sort of issues I am glad to help you with. Working with me means unpacking your deeper identity, helping you to better understand who you are and what you want from life. From here, we consider the ‘nuts and bolts’ of how to prepare for career transition, including organizing your day and addressing the inner-critic. I look forward to chatting with you about achieving your dream vocation.

Who benefits from career counselling? You might be a student looking for direction or a person considering a career change. You may also be looking to delve deep and assess your talents, skills, interests, personality or learning style. Learning more about who you are and how you want to spend the next decades of your life are all considerations in career counselling. Assessment tools can be very helpful in making informed career choices and developing a personalized career path but are best utilized along with an experienced counsellor. Psychotherapeutic tools such as EFT and Mindfulness Based approaches can provide depths of understanding one's self.

If you're finding your self feeling stuck, stagnant, or frustrated in your work, you are not alone. It's normal to crave change and growth throughout your career, so let's explore your options! Working with Molly, you might use Enneagram Theory, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems Therapy to dig into your core motivations. We will use this information to lead us to the optimal next step, based on your true priorities.

My approach to career counselling and planning is taken from the now famous resource Designing Your Life. We apply Design Thinking to reframe obstacles to opportunities in creative ways that may be impossible to imagine now. Then we design plans to give you the inspiration and practical experiences that prove what career decision will bring you the greatest happiness, fulfillment, and reward.

It is one thing to embark on a new career path, and a whole other to find the sweet spot of purpose, contribution, vitality and practical stability that leads to a really fulfilling vocation. The latter requires the courage to allow, shape and stay with a vision and the skills to navigate the inevitable peaks and valleys in confidence that are natural to the process. It is necessary to develop the ability to structure your own time toward your goal, maintaining the stability necessary to take new opportunities and creative risks. I offer coaching for those motivated to move into this place.
