Career Counselling and Coaching in Regina, Saskatchewan.

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.

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.
