Career Counselling and Coaching in Balgonie, Saskatchewan.

For the past several years I have worked closely with executives and emerging leaders, and have developed training specific to the growth and development of leaders. I have provided counsel for people struggling in their position, and for others who were on their way up. In general, vocational and professional issues are not a lot different from other life issues. Some common principles apply, and the principles that underpin ACT therapy particularly apply. What do you value? What is getting in your way? How can you move yourself forward and not stay stuck? This is the case for average workers and for executives who seem to have it together.

Are you feeling lost over where to go in your career? Do you find yourself stuck debating practicality vs. what you really want to do? Is it hard to even connect with what you want to do at all? These dilemmas, as well as the overwhelm that comes with career transition, are the sort of issues I am glad to help you with. Working with me means unpacking your deeper identity, helping you to better understand who you are and what you want from life. From here, we consider the ‘nuts and bolts’ of how to prepare for career transition, including organizing your day and addressing the inner-critic. I look forward to chatting with you about achieving your dream vocation.

Meaning is a powerful part of being happy and often depression and anxiety are a result of being in jobs or careers that does not give us meaning or joy. My goal for this area is to explore what is meaningful for clients and help them understand what they need to reach their goals towards meaningful careers or lives. Maslow's 4th level on his hierarchy of needs includes self esteem and work is often what fills this need.

Career counseling benefits by helping individuals clarify their professional goals, strengths, and values. Clients gain insight into their interests, skills, and passions, guiding informed career decisions. By addressing career-related challenges and barriers, counselling develops resilience and adaptability in the face of change. Clients receive support in navigating career transitions, pursuing further education, or exploring new opportunities.

I have worked with individuals who sought career counselling when they felt that they were needing to make a change due to an injury or illness, or as a result of interpersonal stress within the workplace. In other instances, individuals discovered they were unhappy or ill-suited to working in a career initially chosen. Through discussion about an individual's strengths and interests, as well as including the use of questionnaires, a client is able to explore other career choices better suited to their personality and goals.
