Career Counselling and Coaching in Legal, Alberta.

In career counselling, I assist individuals with exploration, change, and development. I help people explore their values, personality characteristics, and strengths. I assist in the transition from school to a career, a change in their current career, or the transition from their career to retirement. I also help people work through career-related struggles and challenges such as stress/burnout, confidence/assertiveness, and work/life balance.

A career decision or career transition is difficult… there are so many things to consider. I can help you explore your personality, your strengths, and your weaknesses. These must be considered when planning a career or a career transition. After helping people for 31 years with career decision making, I have many resources at my fingertips. I would be pleased to work with you. Book an appointment by going to https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=14249112

Do you feel like your current job "just isn't right," but feel blocked in making a change? Do you experience a quiet shame, that you should have achieved so much more by now? Do you feel like your job is stressful or monotonous, and find yourself asking "what’s the point?" Do you feel called to serve others with mission and purpose, but have no idea what to do? Using humour, accountability, and strategic techniques, I’ll help you explore your inner and outer world, and in so doing, learn where your strengths, interests, and passions truly lie. Together, let's drop the daily frustration, take right action, and find freedom in work that is meaningful and enjoyable!

With endless career options to choose from, it can feel overwhelming and paralyzing to know what to do. By providing skilled guidance and helping you connect with your inner knowing, I will help you find direction on this wide open road. We each have unique skills and talents that when properly directed will allow us to do work that not only nourishes ourselves, but benefits others as well.

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.

Choosing or changing your career can be stressful, particularly if that decision was thrust upon you by others or by circumstance. As an experienced clinical psychologist, Dr. Hook can provide appropriate assessment and feedback that may help you in moving forward. Career counseling with Dr. Hook will also include help in adjustment and evaluation of current and past occupational stressors in order to give you the best chance of success and happiness in your future endeavors.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I enjoyed a long and successful career where I specialized in staffing, resource management, and business operations. I am also a fully trained career and life coach, where I work with clients to help them strive for and achieve their personal and professional goals. In therapy, I work with clients on all aspects of their career including: dealing with difficult coworkers, managing work/life balance, pursuing advances in their careers, exploring new careers, job transition and job loss.
