Career Counselling and Coaching in Bluewater, Ontario.

Ideally your job, career or occupation is a source of energy, meaning and perspective on life and money. It aids your journey through the shifting realities we now have on the planet. When you are not in that happy situation - having a job that does Not feel (or is indeed Not) benefitting you, everything else is bound to be ‘off kilter’! My experience over forty years of being a therapist is that the technical aspects of a career/job/position may be resolved by going through the typical mechanics of job searching. But what you will gain from speaking to me in person is a fresh perspective. In short, do you and your possible career ‘line up’ and how can we work together to get you there?

As the world has grown more complex, so too has our approach to understanding career and vocation. It is now common for many of us to navigate several different careers throughout our life. I support clients with diving deeper into life purpose, to better understand how it is possible to create the kind of life and career path that feels most meaningful and fulfilling. I view the time between employment and careers as an important opportunity for self-inquiry and clarifying the directions in which we intend to move towards.

We often question our career choices and work environment. Toxic people and disorganized work sites, downsizing and re organization can lead to anxiety, depression and burnout. I will help you reflect on your career choice and work environment to explore your strengths and where your professional life lies in the future. Reflecting on your strengths, education, professional aspirations and the job market we can re route your work life to rekindle your motivation. Understanding and learning about how to manage personalities in your work place will also enhance your work experience and open up new opportunities.

Through my Master’s degree I completed a double major in career and personal counseling. This unique training has helped me understand the impacts of personal well-being on career development and work performance and productivity. It also helped me understand how career development and/or employment satisfaction impacts on an individual’s well-being and on how they behave and interact with others. Through counseling, I can help you identify appropriate occupations to pursue and/or address issues that are negatively affecting your work performance, attendance and productivity. Through counselling, you will feel and function better in your professional and personal life.

Navigating our careers can be challenging and confusing. This process can become overwhelming, but with the help of a professional who is both compassionate and impartial, things can become more clear. Together we can explore areas of possibility for your future, and also work towards identifying and overcoming the emotional barriers that might get in the way of you reaching your career goals. Combining coaching techniques, with therapeutic techniques to regulate emotions, we can explore your professional aspirations and set out manageable steps to move towards them.

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.
