Career Counselling and Coaching in Comox, British Columbia.

Its been suggested that over our period of working life, we will undertake at least 3 significant career changes. These transitions are seen as one of life's more significant stressor events. Sometimes such a commitment can seem overwhelming. If you are at that point in your life and considering a job/career change, you may want to seek guidance from a professional counsellor. We can help identify issues at hand, and alleviate the stress of managing such a significant life event. The advantage to using the services of a counsellor is that we can be objective, and respectful as to your immediate needs, and therefore help problem solve around how to best manage/prepare for what is to come.

I use a biopsychosocial approach with an emphasis on strengths to help people within their career. Finding a satisfying career path is not just a matter of following your bliss but examining the requirements each individual has for creating a life they want balanced against the resources they have. When there isn't the resources for career change, creating a long term plans and a tool belt for resiliency is key to overcoming workplace dissatisfaction.

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.
