Successful careers require the same attention and understanding you put into a successful relationship.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can this be it? Is this your purpose in life? Prior to working in therapy I worked in human resources for ten years and saw too many people in the wrong place working jobs they hated. There may be a better way. By exploring your values, interest and dreamsee we align you for the type of success you want. Skills are important, but it doesn't take talent to practice. Let's explore the best you we can.
