Career Counselling and Coaching in Cardston, Alberta.

The father of psychotherapy, Sigmund Freud, said the two pillars in life are LOVE and WORK. If we get these two things right, we are happy and fulfilled. If you are trying to find a career path, or contemplating of changing one, invest a few sessions on yourself to explore what gives you greatest meaning and fires up your passion. Create a compass for a career that fulfills you and that will allow you to make a good living.

" With 20 years of experience we can help you set goals, find opportunities and support you to obtain your dream career or work through the challenges and road blocks you may currently be experiencing at your current position.

Career counselling is usually a search for something different. A person wants to have an impact or have a purpose in this world. I have some experience helping people in providing life skills as a social worker. Thinking of a persons desire or goals helps to determine a potential career path along with fit with personality. Gaining insight and skills helps a person to move closer to a career.

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.

It is one thing to embark on a new career path, and a whole other to find the sweet spot of purpose, contribution, vitality and practical stability that leads to a really fulfilling vocation. The latter requires the courage to allow, shape and stay with a vision and the skills to navigate the inevitable peaks and valleys in confidence that are natural to the process. It is necessary to develop the ability to structure your own time toward your goal, maintaining the stability necessary to take new opportunities and creative risks. I offer coaching for those motivated to move into this place.

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.

Over the years as a Counsellor in the school system, I have done a lot of career counselling. Also, as an adult educator, I see career counselling through the eyes of a mature adult. Research indicates that the average person will have about 5 different careers in their lifetime. The ideal is to build each successive career upon the last career.

Are you stuck, anxious about life transitions, and feeling unmotivated? Research has found that people typically change jobs multiple times in a lifetime. I offer supportive and compassionate counselling to help re-ignite the spark to find meaningful purpose in the workplace. I look at a person's strengths, values, ambitions, and interests so that we can all live with a sense of purpose, clarity, and enjoyment.
