Career Counselling and Coaching in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia.

As children we are told to dream about what careers we want to undertake. As adults we often feel stuck in careers that are not satisfying or meaningful. I work with clients to help make the connection between what they once dreamt of and and what they are experiencing now. I believe in exploring who we are, what we value, what we want out of life when engaging in career counselling. I use career checklists and inventories, but this is not the end of our work -it is just a suggestion, an idea that may spark other ideas as you work toward a fulfilling career in a life worth living.

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.
