Career Counselling and Coaching in North Cowichan, British Columbia.

Determining what you want to do with your life, getting back into the work force, and changing careers can be difficult. I can assist in setting short term and long term goals, as well as creating an action plan to get you on track to working towards achieving the career you desire. We can determine what your obstacles are, where your fears and conquer them together. We are often our own barriers to getting what we want. Let's determine what is holding you back. I will provide you with support and encouragement in a supportive, non-judgemental environment.

I help clients with addictive behaviours or substance use that is interfering with their ability to achieve a fulfilling career. Through collaborative conversations, clients gain a sense of purpose and direction, overcoming barriers to making meaningful progress in their professional life. Gaining a sense of control over one's life allows for increased confidence and self-esteem. I help clients build the motivation necessary to take steps toward a future filled with passion, thriving, and mental resilliance.

I understand that life transitions can bring about a sense of uncertainty, especially when it comes to your career path. In our career counseling sessions, we'll take a holistic approach, exploring your skills, interests, and values to help you make informed decisions. We'll also look at practical aspects like resume building and interview techniques. While change can be daunting, it's also an opportunity for growth and new beginnings. Together, we'll work to not only navigate these transitions but to also turn them into stepping stones for a fulfilling career and a brighter future.

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.

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.

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.

I am honoured that you are interested in my services and I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I have been described as slightly non-conventional in the counselling world, which suits me perfectly, and also tends to suit youth who are trying to stand up to the force of the problems in their life. I am very comfortable working with this population, and I feel fortunate that I can connect with teens the way I do, conventionally or in a way that makes sense to them.

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. Having a non-biased person such as a counsellor can help navigate feelings and questions about different jobs as well as help one decide about career changes. Counselling can provide a calm space to explore.
