Career Counselling and Coaching in Anmore, British Columbia.

Career counseling, although a ‘named form’ of counseling in itself, is yet quite transient. Usually once I begin working with a client who is requesting career counseling, we find that the hiccups they are experiencing in their quest is based on fear, anxiety and/or stress, health issues, sometimes addictions (or the addictions of others), anger issues, depression, or even shrapnel from their family of origin. So I do not view career counseling as a sole issue but rather a symptom. I love to work in this arena since it allows me to be a CSI agent for an hour, unlocking hidden truths that have become speed bumps along life’s journey to achieve one’s personal best.

Career decisions can be difficult. Career counselling will help you identify your interests, skills, personality and values which will help you decide on a career that suits who want to be in the world. Individual sessions will explore your strengths and desire to make a difference. I will help you set goals, explore options and help direct a path to a positive and hopeful work future.

Working from TA perspective can provide clients with the tools and concepts applicable to both personal and professional development. Helping clients explore their interests, their likes, wishes and dreams will open the door for a co-creative process of finding one's talents, growing them and applying them in practice.

As a counsellor and coach, I can help you to: • Take stock of your training and work/life experience up until now • Tap into your dreams for your work-life • Look realistically at your strengths and weaknesses, the opportunities and limitations in your present situation • Create a realistic plan of action, which might include: further consideration of what came up in session, gathering resources, information interviewing (I can teach you how if it’s new), and taking concrete steps toward your goals Studies have shown that being accountable to someone like a coach, increases success.

I truly believe that choosing one single career path can be one of the more difficult decisions we have to make in life. At times it may feel like there is immense societal and cultural pressure to choose a specific career path, but at the end of the day, I am curious to explore what it is you value, free from outside judgements. Different people prioritize different factors when choosing a career, and it is important for me to help identify what your priorities are. From there we can brainstorm potential avenues and build motivation to help bring those thoughts into reality. It is often action that creates motivation, not the other way around.

I look forward to helping clients through career counselling in making difficult transitions easier. I believe in first developing meaningful connections with my clients. Instead of relying on career aptitude tests and personality tests I will want to understand the clients' worries and desires. I will look to setting up specific goals with my clients and redirecting them to their goals.

For some, a career is a large part of one's identity. For others, it is simply a means to an end or a small part of a bigger picture. I approach career counselling by helping you discover and explore what a career and any related decisions mean for you. By doing this, I hope to help you uncover insight and clarity towards career choices and transitions.

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.

"While Kathryn can do a lot of fantastic work for people at the low points of life, I believe she can have a massive impact on any business or person that is not in crisis... The famous "From Good To Great" book, film & ideology explored why some organizations do better than others. For a while many years ago it created a new paradigm for progressive thinking organizations. However, in most cases it was a short term shift, because the real and lasting change begins with individuals. Given the awareness of self and the tools to leverage ones own strengths and attributes in a way that is meaningful to you... that creates lasting change.

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.

Career choices can seem all-important and overwhelming. Whether you are starting, restarting, or making a change in your career - I can help you discover what the best fit for you may be.

When you understand the reasons of your reactions we can then find ways for you to respond to situations in a healthy manner for yourself. There is always room for new ways to communicate and resolve conflict. Let me help you be the most successful you can be.

Career counselling may involve exploring career direction and it may also involve dealing with issues that occur in one's working life, such as those in the workplace. When exploring a career path, the client's whole self needs to be taken into consideration, including one's history and dreams (waking and sleeping.) Of particular importance is one's "inner voice" which may be calling one in a particular direction. Work situations often open up old wounds and therefore often provide an opportunity for healing and transformation.
