Career Counselling and Coaching in Shelburne, Ontario.

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. Based on a 'follow your bliss' model where 'do what you love and you will never have to work a day in your life', requires courage, realism partnered with creativity and a sense of adventure. It is about knowing or finding out what you want and then creating a plan to set things in motion. Let the adventure begin!

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. Together we can explore areas of possibility for your future, and also work towards identifying and overcoming the emotional barriers that might get in the way of you reaching your career goals. Combining coaching techniques, with therapeutic techniques to regulate emotions, we can explore your professional aspirations and set out manageable steps to move towards them.

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. Contact me today to begin your journey towards your ideal career.

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.

Ray is an experienced guidance counsellor and special education teacher. Changing careers in mid-life can be a difficult task. Ray understands the college and university application process and can help clients define what their educational and work goals are. Ray have tools to help define what fields clients may be interested in pursuing. Ray can also teach them how to navigate the college and university web sites.

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.

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
