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. My approach to career counselling is to create a supportive environment for exploration where we can discover what makes you unique and find careers that fit your strengths, interests and values. We will work together to plan and implement the steps towards building your career so that you can feel less overwhelmed and more confident to take action.

There can be a lot of pressure to figure out one’s career or to decide where one fits within a particular field. Oftentimes this is a winding road rather than a straight route. Within therapy, I will support you in identifying and exploring the values, goals, interests, and passions most important to you so that you can make decisions about your career that feel right to you. I will also work with you to process possible obstacles along the way such as (and certainly not limited to) challenging work dynamics, stress and burnout, and difficulties finding a work/life balance. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

Successful careers require the same attention and understanding you put into a successful relationship. If you are being overlooked or bullied at work, it can feel like your value as a person is being dismissed. There are strategies for identifying what you wish to achieve in your career and practical steps to get there. These strategies not only provide a roadmap for your career but also offer a sense of hope and inspiration, showing that growth and development are always within your reach. Don't give up on yourself or the possibility of finding a way to achieve your goals. We spend so much time making sense of the work environment that it can sometimes feel overwhelming. It's not.

Your chosen career path is a reflection of where you want to go and what you want to accomplish in your lifetime. However, due to physical, mental, economic, familial, or emotional limitations, among others, it is possible that you may feel you are unable to work towards your desired career path. Additionally, it is possible that you may be unaware of what your career path might be. In career therapy, we will explore your interests, desires, strengths and challenges, your spirituality, education level and social, political or economical limitations, to discover what work might be meaningful, suitable and fruitful for you. We will then create a plan to work towards your desired career path.

Are you feeling stuck and like you want to move forward or make a change in your career path, but aren't sure where to start? By exploring your values and your belief systems, together we can begin to map out a list of options that are likely to bring you joy and fulfillment in your life in the long term. By exploring these options in our sessions through thoughtful and reflective discussion, we can begin to create a shortlist and really hone in on what it is that will provide you with joy, pride, and fulfillment in your work. I will help you to identify your strengths and offer alternative perspectives to help you find your way to a happy and successful career path.
