Career Counselling and Coaching in Haldimand County, Ontario.

Finding a career that fulfills you and allows you to maintain the work-life balance you prefer is not always easy. Life transitions and job transitions are difficult, and sometimes you need someone to help explore what exactly it is that you are looking for. Sometimes we thinking that "what fulfills us" should be super obvious, but it isn't always that obvious. Why? Sometimes other things are getting in the way - such as, the way we were brought up and some expectations we have of ourselves. Looking into these, among other things, will help start this work.

According to one study, about 75% of the population feels stuck in a job that they find unsatisfying. It does not have to be that way! It is possible to pursue a vocation that maps on to your values, passion, natural abilities and environment. Whether you are new to Canada, just entering the work force, in transition, or functioning with a disability - a career counsellor can help you explore your options, discover your passion, and develop your skills to make good decisions about your future.

I help clients with addictive behaviours or substance use that is interfering with their ability to achieve a fulfilling career. Through collaborative conversations, clients gain a sense of purpose and direction, overcoming barriers to making meaningful progress in their professional life. Gaining a sense of control over one's life allows for increased confidence and self-esteem. I help clients build the motivation necessary to take steps toward a future filled with passion, thriving, and mental resilliance.

I can provide strategies for you to find new or different employment successfully. I'm not only a registered psychotherapist but I'm also a success coach. I have a PhD in leadership and policy and a background in business. I've had many jobs and careers from modelling, personal training, to a Bell operator and a Purolator driver. I've been in retail sales, and sold photocopies, PR, and software. I've been a teacher of primary/junior students, and professor in sales, and a professor in graduate education. I have owned a restaurant, and a tutoring company. I am sure I have missed something! I'm reinventing myself once again looking to be an author! Let me help you find your way!

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. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

A career is more complex than most people think. It is intertwined with identity, aspirations and values. During our sessions we will not be focused on finding the “perfect” job or an infallible 5-year plan. Instead, we will investigate your passions, values, and skills. We will discover fears, hopes and the story you have used for historical career decisions. By doing this we will be able to develop meaningful steps towards your personal fulfillment.

Even the thought of building a career can feel overwhelming. There are so many options, so many steps, and it be hard to know where to start.
