Career Counselling and Coaching in Mission, British Columbia.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My approach to career counselling and planning is taken from the now famous resource Designing Your Life. We apply Design Thinking to reframe obstacles to opportunities in creative ways that may be impossible to imagine now. Then we design plans to give you the inspiration and practical experiences that prove what career decision will bring you the greatest happiness, fulfillment, and reward.

As a skilled career counsellor, I help my clients embark on a journey of career exploration and development. I also provide counselling services for those looking to change their careers. Initial career assessments and consideration of interests and personality form the basic steps in discovering and unearthing my client's skills and gifts. I am often surprised at the paucity of resources and knowledge of career routes in modern society. I help my clients find a career path leading to a happy, fulfilled and meaningful lives. We spend the best times of our awake hours at a vocation, wouldn't you want to be in a field where you find joy and fill you matter?
