1/3 of our lives is spent at work, growing a career that reflects the lifestyle you want and supports your well-being is key!

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.

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!

We will use this information to lead us to the optimal next step, based on your true priorities.

With so many choices, deciding on a career path is not easy, whether you are a young adult just starting out or are more mature and seeking a change. When you are older, making these choices can be complicated by other issues. While it is helpful to know something about each of the options, it's even more important to know yourself: your skills, preferences, values, strengths, weaknesses. I can help you explore these in a safe, compassionate and supportive environment, and encourage you to choose a path that best meets your wishes, needs and goals.

It's never too late to change your job, and many of us have more than one career path in our lifetime. Life is too short to stay in a career that causes you stress and unhappiness. The first step is a thorough assessment of your personality styles, strengths. and interests to determine which careers are best suited to you. After the second session, clients have a list of possible careers to explore. Professional services, such as resume and interview preparation, can assist the client in securing the job of their dreams.

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.

I understand that life transitions can bring about a sense of uncertainty, especially when it comes to your career path.

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.

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.
