Do you experience anxiety or stress when you wake up, thinking about your work day? Do work issues affect your personal life, invading your thoughts at night?

These require a specific focus, in addition to exploring your career satisfaction and future path. Contact me for more information about how I can help.

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.

Finding a satisfying career path takes balancing your strengths and passions with the realities of today's economy. I start by working with you on fleshing out your dreams. This is followed by exploration of how these aspirations can best be achieved given all of the other factors you are juggling. When barriers present themselves, I help skillfully navigate your journey forward, building your confidence at every step.

Choosing a career is hard work and can create a lot of anxiety and stress. Counselling can help people gain clarity and have conversations in a non-judgemental space.

Counselling can provide a calm space to explore.

While most career counselors love to give you capacity based profiles of what your talents and interests are for your best bet career choices, Grey Matters international believes that most people make predictably irrational decisions and then after making them learn way to make them fit into their identities using various types of rationalizations and strategies. We are able to assist folks in career counseling type settings by giving a deeper look at their decision making profile so they can better understand where the core frustration or desire is coming from in the world of work.

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.
