Career Counselling and Coaching in Yaletown Vancouver, British Columbia.

In today's job market, it has become unusual to stay in one job for the duration of one's working life. Change and transition in one's career can bring about fear, uncertainty and anxiety. I can help with that. I can also help individuals who may be feeling unsatisfied by their current career or who have completed post-secondary education, but do not know what to do next.

I've had several careers in my lifetime, and each of them paved toward the one I'm in today as a psychotherapist. It took time and patience for me to find the kind of career that was the best fit for me. So I know how frustrating it can be to find yourself in a place where you don't know what to do professionally, and so annoying it can be that your search can begin to feel hopeless and depressing. Before you give up, let me help you identify your strengths (and vulnerabilities) so you can gain some useful clarity about what direction you'd like to take. Like me, you may discover an authentic career 'fit'!

Whether you are seeking a first career or looking to bring more pleasure to your life's work, career counselling can help you set a course of action to create the next chapter of your life.

If you are feeling stuck and unsure about your current career and are looking for some way to shift your current job we can work through a series of tools to help pinpoint what may be a better option.

Adventura offers personal counseling to deal with work related issues limiting your success and happiness on the job. Also, career counseling can assist students interested in choosing an academic major or graduate program, identifying potential careers or areas of professional interest, or working to integrate their academic and/or professional pursuits with their broader life choices.

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.

Sometimes, people just need a little encouragement to fill in the Myers-Briggs, the Holland Career Assessment, or explore CareerCruising.com, to know what path to take. Other counsellors are expert for this type of need. But sometimes, a person feels really stuck. They don't believe they have skills and aptitudes, aren't aware how transferable knowledge and skills are. Or they haven't caught up with what they want out of life at this stage. Everybody wants a role, whether it be through paid work, parenting or volunteer contributions. To figure out what role, you have to first catch up with with "who am I now?" Let Ros help you puzzle this out. Call now!

Often in this day and age it is common for people to have more than one or two careers in our lifetime. There can be advantages to this in terms of experience and variety, but for some it might be difficult to endevour because of having to be forced to change career due to job loss or not knowing what direction one wants to go forward in. I will work to help us focus and narrow down where you want to go and focus to understand why it has been difficult and challenging so that it becomes easier and clearer on feeling good about the career choices you do make.

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.

Maybe as a child you dreamed about having a great life of abundance and achieve greatness. At that age, you were a winner and you would stand up and defend your dreams against any challenges. Unfortunately, lots of people may lose some of that winning spirit growing up and the champion in you may have slowly dimed. Maybe you do set goals and you do have an idea of what your purpose and direction in life is. This simply is not enough for you to experience the abundance in life that you deserve. You have all the potential to radically make a difference! It is already deep inside of you and waiting to be used. Together, we will work toward using that amazing potential.

I thoroughly enjoy working with young adult clients on assisting them in beginning their career journey. I also work with adult clients who are in the beginning stages of making career changes including going back to school. I know how scary "change" can be especially when it has financial implications. Career Counselling with me begins with developing rapport and relationships. We move at a pace you are comfortable with and examine the variables involved in decision-making. I support clients throughout the change process.
