We spend the majority of our adult lives working. Is this work fulfilling? Does it have meaning beyond simply being a way to make money and sustain our lifestyle? My work as a career counsellor goes again to the root of issues with work. There is a soul level to the work we choose, a vocational element to it ("vocation" meaning a calling from the work—where the work actually chooses you rather than you choosing the work.) Spend the remainder of your life doing something that brings sustenance to your soul as well as food on your table!

Those who have a specific career goal they desire will often face obstacles which may become frustrating and overwhelming.

Counselling, guidance in any of these areas can provide direction to leading a more fulfilling life by investigating desirable alternatives.

My approach to career counselling includes an appreciation for the fact that work needs to include joy and purpose, or it's just a job.

This has a way of increasing their experience of joy and purpose in the workplace or find the courage to make a change.

I help clients with addictive behaviours or substance use that is interfering with their ability to achieve a fulfilling career.
