Career Counselling and Coaching in Cumberland, British Columbia.

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 adopt a client-centric approach focused on empowering individuals to navigate their professional journey with clarity and confidence. Through personalized assessments, goal-setting, and exploration of individual strengths and values, clients gain a deeper understanding of their career aspirations. I provide guidance on strategic decision-making, skill development, and effective job search strategies to align their career paths with personal goals. By fostering self-awareness and offering practical tools for professional development, clients benefit from a transformative experience that not only enhances their career trajectories but also promotes a sense of fulfillment and purpose.

Are you feeling lost over where to go in your career? Do you find yourself stuck debating practicality vs. what you really want to do? Is it hard to even connect with what you want to do at all? These dilemmas, as well as the overwhelm that comes with career transition, are the sort of issues I am glad to help you with. Working with me means unpacking your deeper identity, helping you to better understand who you are and what you want from life. From here, we consider the ‘nuts and bolts’ of how to prepare for career transition, including organizing your day and addressing the inner-critic. I look forward to chatting with you about achieving your dream vocation.

I understand that life transitions can bring about a sense of uncertainty, especially when it comes to your career path. In our career counseling sessions, we'll take a holistic approach, exploring your skills, interests, and values to help you make informed decisions. We'll also look at practical aspects like resume building and interview techniques. While change can be daunting, it's also an opportunity for growth and new beginnings. Together, we'll work to not only navigate these transitions but to also turn them into stepping stones for a fulfilling career and a brighter future.

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.

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 counselling can help to move forwards in your career development it can also be helpful for those deciding about further education or training. Depending on your goals, we may discuss any career questions and provide you with resources to assist in your search. If you are interested, during the sessions we may identify your interests and skills, discuss various job searching techniques, assistance with interviews and coaching if you need any assistance making decisions.

While most career counselors love to give you capacity based profiles of what your talents and interests are for your best bet career choices, Grey Matters international believes that most people make predictably irrational decisions and then after making them learn way to make them fit into their identities using various types of rationalizations and strategies. We are able to assist folks in career counseling type settings by giving a deeper look at their decision making profile so they can better understand where the core frustration or desire is coming from in the world of work.
