Career Counselling and Coaching in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

It is not uncommon to have struggles at work. Workload, environment, or finding a work life balance can leave you feeling burnt out or wondering if you are living your best life. Taking care of yourself can make you a better, more effective employee. Counselling can help you clarify your goals and values, can offer you skills and strategies for managing the stress, and can help you find your balance.

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.

I help clients with addictive behaviours or substance use that is interfering with their ability to achieve a fulfilling career. Through collaborative conversations, clients gain a sense of purpose and direction, overcoming barriers to making meaningful progress in their professional life. Gaining a sense of control over one's life allows for increased confidence and self-esteem. I help clients build the motivation necessary to take steps toward a future filled with passion, thriving, and mental resilliance.

Even the thought of building a career can feel overwhelming and it can be difficult to know where to start. While I do not offer support regarding career counselling, at Psychotherapy Collective, our online clinic, we have therapists who are available to offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if they are the right fit for your journey.

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.

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.
