Career Counselling and Coaching in Yaletown Vancouver, British Columbia.

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.

I support clients navigating career transitions and managing work stress by creating a safe space to explore their goals, values, and challenges. Together, we work to identify what’s no longer serving them and develop a clear path forward, whether that’s exploring new career options, setting boundaries, or finding more balance in their work-life dynamics. I use a strengths-based approach to help clients recognize their skills and capabilities, empowering them to build confidence and resilience in the face of change. By addressing the root causes of stress & providing practical strategies for coping, I aim to help clients feel more grounded, clear-headed, & in control as they navigate change.

Are you feeling stuck in your career or just wanting to try something different, but you don't know where to start? Trying to figure out how to approach a career change can be overwhelming to navigate alone. I will work with you to understand your job history and current situation. Then, we can focus on identifying your values, interests, and skillset to help align your unique talents with your career.

We know that choosing a career can be a daunting task, and the process of exploring and planning your future career can take some time. In order to assist students through this process, I offer a variety of careers focused on personality, talent, degree and dedication. I did a lot of information research on this and I matched successfully. Many of my previous clients were happy for my advice. I serve my clients to get a good solution. I also discuss my clients' career questions to experts in the field. I offer resources to assist to get a better future.

I truly believe that choosing one single career path can be one of the more difficult decisions we have to make in life. At times it may feel like there is immense societal and cultural pressure to choose a specific career path, but at the end of the day, I am curious to explore what it is you value, free from outside judgements. Different people prioritize different factors when choosing a career, and it is important for me to help identify what your priorities are. From there we can brainstorm potential avenues and build motivation to help bring those thoughts into reality. It is often action that creates motivation, not the other way around.

Having worked in the finance industry for many years, I help clients remove their blocks, create clarity and help with work towards their career(dream job). My treatment involves having the client work on: financial plan that includes their goals. We go through obstacles and mental blocks; and their fears of success. Clients feel motivated, they learn how to build resources, change their negative beliefs to positive, and learn new skills to communicate effective.

My approach to career counselling is relational, practical, and attuned to each client’s unique story. I blend thoughtful, strengths-based exploration with gentle guidance that helps people clarify what energizes them, what environments help them thrive, and what patterns may be holding them back. Clients benefit from a supportive space where they can be honest about their uncertainties, experiment with new possibilities, and craft clear, actionable steps. Together, we build a path forward that aligns with your values, personality, and evolving sense of identity—so work feels not only sustainable, but meaningful.

I thoroughly enjoy working with young adult clients on assisting them in beginning their career journey. I also work with adult clients who are in the beginning stages of making career changes including going back to school. I know how scary "change" can be especially when it has financial implications. Career Counselling with me begins with developing rapport and relationships. We move at a pace you are comfortable with and examine the variables involved in decision-making. I support clients throughout the change process.

Career decisions can be difficult. Career counselling will help you identify your interests, skills, personality and values which will help you decide on a career that suits who want to be in the world. Individual sessions will explore your strengths and desire to make a difference. I will help you set goals, explore options and help direct a path to a positive and hopeful work future.

Career is more than a job to make money and pay the bills. Our careers give us a sense of meaning and purpose , help us have a sense of belonging and contribution in society, and provide us with a sense of security, achievement and progress through life. Career counselling helps you get in touch with what you value in a career and how you can choose a career or transition between careers in a way that is in line with your authentic self.

Feeling stuck in your career? Whether you’re questioning your path, struggling with burnout, or seeking more fulfillment, I can help. Career changes can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, clarify your goals, and create a plan that aligns with your values and ambitions. Your work should energize, not drain you. Let’s create a future you’re excited about.

As a counsellor and coach, I can help you to: • Take stock of your training and work/life experience up until now • Tap into your dreams for your work-life • Look realistically at your strengths and weaknesses, the opportunities and limitations in your present situation • Create a realistic plan of action, which might include: further consideration of what came up in session, gathering resources, information interviewing (I can teach you how if it’s new), and taking concrete steps toward your goals Studies have shown that being accountable to someone like a coach, increases success.

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.

Career counselling has never been more important because our life journeys have never been more complex. Individuals change careers now more than ever; there’s an incredible amount of options in a rapidly changing landscape. And yet, there can also be stifling logistical constraints, a lack of opportunities, and precarious markets. I want to help you find a place where you feel accomplished, confident, valuable, and satisfied—but I know that is easier said than done. I can help you experiment, cope, succeed, and find a path that feels right. I work particularly well with students, young professionals, and graduate students.

Career counselling has progressed away from computer generated test scores and more along the lines of inquiry to individual likes and tendencies. This is the approach I adopt. Together we complete a Career Development Workbook, uncovering inclinations and passions using talking and connection to self and others as our tools. Once up to 3 career choices have been made, a referral to Workplace BC is often helpful for the next steps in market and career research for your choices.

Do you feel like lack of social confidence, anxiety, and poor social skills are keeping you back at work? Or maybe you are just starting your career and selecting jobs that won't require talking much to others or socializing, because you just feel so anxious even thinking about that. Do you dread group work, social events, speaking out in meetings, parties and networking? I have good news for you! Social confidence is a learned skill, one you can learn just like any other. You just need the right information, some support and feedback and the drive to try some new things. The rewards are potentially very large, especially at work. Level up your career and your life!

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.

Career counselling with me involves an exploration of your strengths, and experiences. Together we will make sense of your journey and find the words to begin your plans for next steps. In therapy as you experience a non-judgmental, secure relationship you can orient yourself and experience a sense of confidence and assurance to move forward. Through locating where you are in the process of change and untangle the elements that are keeping you from moving towards a life of purpose and passion.

Career counseling, although a ‘named form’ of counseling in itself, is yet quite transient. Usually once I begin working with a client who is requesting career counseling, we find that the hiccups they are experiencing in their quest is based on fear, anxiety and/or stress, health issues, sometimes addictions (or the addictions of others), anger issues, depression, or even shrapnel from their family of origin. So I do not view career counseling as a sole issue but rather a symptom. I love to work in this arena since it allows me to be a CSI agent for an hour, unlocking hidden truths that have become speed bumps along life’s journey to achieve one’s personal best.
