Career Counselling and Coaching in Burlington, Ontario.

I consider professional development and career growth as an important part of self-realization. A career requires a lot: motivation, hard work, knowledge, skills, persistence, and passion. On the other hand, it gives a feeling of well-functioning, a satisfaction that efforts have paid off, a sense of belonging to community, and the sense of being proud of your achievements. For almost 20 years I have been helping people to build their careers and accomplish more than they expected in the beginning of counselling. Sometimes people are not aware of their potentials, inner resources, and hidden talents they have. I invite you to explore how far you can go!

A career is more than just a way to pay the bills. Every person spends most of their life in their careers and the career satisfaction/non-satisfaction spills over to the person’s personal life, too. However, there are many variables that can lead to career dissatisfaction. It can be the environment, interpersonal relationships, the skills and talents required for the job, and ultimately the person’s view of the job. A successful career counselling helps the client to take a closer look at these variables and to tackle the issues that lead to an unhealthy career 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.

Even the thought of building a career can feel overwhelming and it can be difficult to know where to start. While I do not offer support regarding career counselling, at Psychotherapy Collective, our online clinic, we have therapists who are available to offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if they are the right fit for your journey.

Being a trained Life Coach, I help clients identify their dreams, bent and natural gifts, so they can build careers which utilize their skill set. From there, I help them set SMART goals – i.e. Simple, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic & Time-focused – broken down into smaller goals, so they never get discouraged, plus they get to witness and celebrate their progress every step of the way. I believe in walking alongside the client in their journey to complete what they set out to do, tackling obstacles as they come – shyness, communication issues, confidence, etc. – so nothing will stop them!

Accepting new clients! In today’s ever-evolving job market, the pathway to a fulfilling career can often feel overwhelming. This is one of the areas I provide support in.

Our careers are important parts of our lives. People have often said that if you do something that you enjoy, you won’t work a day in your life. However, how do you find and decide on what you enjoy? How do you know what is the best fit for you? As a therapist, I support you in better understanding yourself, your life, and your choices to make career decisions that feel like they align with your most authentic self. I strive to make your opinions and choices clearer to you, while allowing you to take on various perspectives to come to the best decision. My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling confident, empowered, and more knowledgeable on what may be a fit for you. Connect with me to
