Career Counselling and Coaching in Shelburne, Ontario.

Clients struggle with what kind of a career will use their talents and make them feel satisfied and productive. I help by looking deeply with them into what brings them joy, what has or hasn't been good about previous workplaces, and also what their values are - in life, in relationships, and in work. These can be very big questions! Often, clients who come to see me about other matters will spend at least a few therapy sessions on career choices and potential future options because it's directly related to how to live a life that's more in keeping with our goals for ourselves and our ethical views. Work can be a primary focus for life, or simply the part of the day set aside to earn income.

Regardless, change is hard, and sometimes a little help or perspective can make all the difference. Reach out for a free consult and see if psychotherapy online is right for you.

I offer a counseling/coaching service that is holistic and dynamic. We address all of your life issues so that there is a balanced approach to ensure you success in achieving your goals, whatever they may be.

It is about knowing or finding out what you want and then creating a plan to set things in motion. Let the adventure begin!

You are the only one that knows which career choice will be right for you. However, sometimes it can be hard to tune into your own intuition, especially within the mix of what you want, what you need and what others think. My role in therapy is to help you untangle all these knots and empower you to make a decision that you feel is your own. This may involve collaborating to understand what your intrinsic values are, how you define success and what needs are important for you to fulfill. Call today so we can find a path you can call your own!

Career counseling is an essential tool for those navigating career transitions or planning during a challenging time. Through my 20 years of therapeutic mental health experience, I have worked with many clients to explore career options, set goals, and develop action plans tailored to their strengths and values. During periods of uncertainty, such as transitions or career shifts, the stress and confusion can impact mental health. Through open discussion, exploration of interests, and goal-setting, I help clients manage the emotional challenges of career planning while improving their mental well-being and fostering a sense of direction and purpose.

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
