Career Counselling and Coaching in St Marys, Ontario.

As the world has grown more complex, so too has our approach to understanding career and vocation. It is now common for many of us to navigate several different careers throughout our life. I support clients with diving deeper into life purpose, to better understand how it is possible to create the kind of life and career path that feels most meaningful and fulfilling. I view the time between employment and careers as an important opportunity for self-inquiry and clarifying the directions in which we intend to move towards.

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.

There can be a lot of pressure to figure out one’s career or to decide where one fits within a particular field. Oftentimes this is a winding road rather than a straight route. Within therapy, I will support you in identifying and exploring the values, goals, interests, and passions most important to you so that you can make decisions about your career that feel right to you. I will also work with you to process possible obstacles along the way such as (and certainly not limited to) challenging work dynamics, stress and burnout, and difficulties finding a work/life balance. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

We often question our career choices and work environment. Toxic people and disorganized work sites, downsizing and re organization can lead to anxiety, depression and burnout. I will help you reflect on your career choice and work environment to explore your strengths and where your professional life lies in the future. Reflecting on your strengths, education, professional aspirations and the job market we can re route your work life to rekindle your motivation. Understanding and learning about how to manage personalities in your work place will also enhance your work experience and open up new opportunities.

Understanding which career you are best suited for can feel like an overwhelming process. With the support of a therapist, you can explore your individual strengths, skills, and values and how these may apply to a fulfilling career. You can also work collaboratively on developing a course of action to pursue your professional goals. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.

Ideally your job, career or occupation is a source of energy, meaning and perspective on life and money. It aids your journey through the shifting realities we now have on the planet. When you are not in that happy situation - having a job that does Not feel (or is indeed Not) benefitting you, everything else is bound to be ‘off kilter’! My experience over forty years of being a therapist is that the technical aspects of a career/job/position may be resolved by going through the typical mechanics of job searching. But what you will gain from speaking to me in person is a fresh perspective. In short, do you and your possible career ‘line up’ and how can we work together to get you there?

Women struggle uniquely with career choices; this is often caused by that feeling of being "torn" between children/home and career.

Contact me for caring, professional assistance with career stress, burnout and change; let's work on your goals together, in partnership.

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.

Career counselling can be equated with understanding ourselves. Sometimes we are looking for financial success or a new routine. While we work together in therapy we explore your values and what matters to you.

Through my Master’s degree I completed a double major in career and personal counseling. This unique training has helped me understand the impacts of personal well-being on career development and work performance and productivity. It also helped me understand how career development and/or employment satisfaction impacts on an individual’s well-being and on how they behave and interact with others.
