Finding the right career is a very difficult task because we always feel like we our compromising. In therapy we can discuss your values and get to know what you want to live by so that you can feel satisfied with your own work. We might discuss and redefine how you understand the term 'success' and develop a plan that allows you to achieve your goals. Therapy can also improve your interpersonal skills through self reflection. With self-compassion, we can become more resilient to life's obstacles and challenges.

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.

Finding the right career can be challenging. In a society where there are so many pressures to find the right job, sustain a healthy work-life balance, achieve a stable income, and to be successful, it can be overwhelming to even begin to think about finding our purpose. Together, we will navigate through your career goals, your struggles, and find ways to help you achieve your dream!

My approach to career counselling aims to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their careers, maximize their potential, and achieve personal and professional success and satisfaction. It involves exploring and evaluating factors such as interests, skills, values, personality traits, and life circumstances to help clients align their career goals with their personal and professional aspirations. It is a collaborative and client-centered process that considers the individual's unique circumstances, preferences, and goals for their future.

Are you looking for support as you journey through your career? Do you give so much to others that there is little left for yourself? Has the pandemic left you feeling burned out and exhausted, or has your career impacted all aspects of your life and relationships? Are you too exhausted when you return home from work to do the hobbies or activities you once did? We will work with you to clarify your professional goals, identify obstacles to finding joy in your work and life, and explore any problematic emotions/behaviours affecting your career.

Some of the dominant things which make up our identity as adults are the thoughts and feelings which we associate with our career. Facing a career change then, be it because of choice or circumstance, can often have the power to affect our entire emotional being. Here at Whiteboard we support clients in areas such as personal assessment, goal setting and personality testing in order to help them gain clarity and make sound decisions during transitional times.
