Career Counselling and Coaching in Cranbrook, British Columbia.

Looking deciding or changing career focus in life is best served by having clients consider how their "life is their career". Some jobs you are rewarded primarily with money, however doing what would bring you a deeper satisfaction is probably going to be more rewarding. Afterall it seems therebis never enough money for a job you hate, versus there often seems to be enough money when you focus on doing what you love.

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.

Career counselling serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance and clarity in their professional paths. Through personalized sessions, career counselors help individuals identify their strengths, interests, and values, aligning them with suitable career options. By exploring various aspects of career development, setting achievable goals, and receiving expert advice, individuals can make informed decisions about their careers. Career counselling aids in enhancing job satisfaction, optimizing career transitions, and empowering individuals to pursue fulfilling and meaningful work paths.

I adopt a client-centric approach focused on empowering individuals to navigate their professional journey with clarity and confidence. Through personalized assessments, goal-setting, and exploration of individual strengths and values, clients gain a deeper understanding of their career aspirations. I provide guidance on strategic decision-making, skill development, and effective job search strategies to align their career paths with personal goals. By fostering self-awareness and offering practical tools for professional development, clients benefit from a transformative experience that not only enhances their career trajectories but also promotes a sense of fulfillment and purpose.

Are you in a job that depletes your energy? Do you enjoy the work but wish you could set some boundaries so you don't work as hard? Do you want a career change but feel stuck? Counselling is a safe space to problem solve without pressure and uncover what is working and what is not, so you can find balance and reduce stress or change course in your career. In counselling we can uncover how old childhood roles and rules govern your work life today and prevent you from having healthy boundaries on the job. Learn more effective communication skills, and simple coping strategies that help you calm down and focus before, during or after work.

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.

Maybe as a child you dreamed about having a great life of abundance and achieve greatness. At that age, you were a winner and you would stand up and defend your dreams against any challenges. Unfortunately, lots of people may lose some of that winning spirit growing up and the champion in you may have slowly dimed. Maybe you do set goals and you do have an idea of what your purpose and direction in life is. This simply is not enough for you to experience the abundance in life that you deserve. You have all the potential to radically make a difference! It is already deep inside of you and waiting to be used. Together, we will work toward using that amazing potential.

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.
