Career Counselling and Coaching in Devon, Alberta.

Becoming who we want to be can be a daunting task. How do we know that the decisions we are making are the 'right' decisions? How do we trust ourselves to find a vocation and career that suits our needs and fit with our personality?

I support clients in exploring academic and career goals. We will identify potential barriers to those goals and seek possible solutions. I offer cognitive assessments to determine if there are any learning disabilities that might need to be addressed to facilitate a specific career choice. I also use psychological testing and career interest inventories to support clients in finding a good match between who they are as a person and what they do as a career.

Career choices can often leave us wondering and questioning ourselves, thinking did I do that right? Did I make the right choice with my education? When am I going to get hired for the job I want? Although career counselling is often an overlooked option, it can be extremely helpful for those struggling with choices around work. Work is a huge part of our lives and it is essential that we are happy in that environment for the optimal function of our own mental health and wellness.

Career counselling is the process of discerning what type of work would be most fulfilling to you, and developing strategies to work towards it. Sometimes, this is in response to changes in your situation or in response to changes inside you - a recognition that what was once satisfying no longer is. Using your emotions, your experience and your needs as a guide, we will work together to plan a short or long-term guide for the future.

Your career is an important part of your life and your personal identity. Concerns related to your career can impact other areas of life and often increase stress outside of the work environment. You may want to explore a new career, make changes in your current position, discover how to be more productive and satisfied in your work, or be in need of support for conflict within the workplace. If so, then career counselling can offer exactly what you are looking for. I will help you to find solutions for your career concerns, and together we will develop a plan for satisfaction and empowerment in your work life.
