Career Counselling and Coaching in Yaletown Vancouver, British Columbia.

If you are in a career transition or trying to decide what you love to do then I have the tools to help! Using proven methods, strategic questions and support we can begin to pinpoint your dream career. We can narrow down the field of choice by looking at your natural abilities, preferences and talents. Whether you are in a career crisis or you want to spend the time making slow focussed changes I can help guide you through the process.

As a coach and a therapist, I bring a breadth and depth of skills required to help you on the path towards your chosen career. Even if that specific career is not yet named, through guided conversations, coaching and effective psychometrics we first build self awareness, uncover your strengths and then create strategies to define success in your terms. 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.

We spend up to 1/3 of our life in our careers!! As a former Human Resources Manager this is an area that is really exciting. Not only will I help you identify your skill set, but help you identify your passion, your purpose and your personality type that will help you see what career is best suited to you. I can also help you identify and develop areas that will help you expand your interviewing skills, your social media profile, your resume and your confidence and also understand the hiring climate that you are in.

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.

Careers play a huge role in a person's life and can become a source of conflict if the person is unhappy with their chosen path, co-workers/boss, position, income, growth, and/or required efforts/hours. I help clients navigate their personal career struggles to find solutions to their turmoil. For some that looks like finding a better suited career while for others it can be communication strategies to help them resolve the issues at their current employment. Whatever the case, we develop a clear plan to resolve the career issue at hand.

Career Counselling offers each individual the understanding of what their personality type is that supports the right career for them. This type of counselling brings an understanding of who you are and the insight that you can do what you are and discover the perfect career for you. You will be supported in how to research the options that fit for your personality type as well as how to create and maintain balance with the rest of your life so that you can enjoy your career, be successful in it without burning out.

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.

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. If you are feeling a lack of confidence about dealing with workplace situations and need some tools to improve your ability to communicate clearly in your job, I can provide those to you as well.

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.

I will work with you to explore your interests, hopes and dreams. We will look at different options that may be available to you and look at the pros and cons of it. I will support you whether you are trying to choose a career or wanting to change your current one. We may also look at roadblocks within yourself that may get in your way and find productive ways to overcome them. You will feel more at ease about making your decision once you have an opportunity to fully explore yourself and your career interest in therapy.

It can be difficult to know what kind of work you would like to do, and often we put pressure on ourselves to figure it out. This pressure only makes things harder and can make us less clear about our options, as we get stuck in negative thought patterns. There are many choices and sometimes we do not know what kind of career we are best suited to. We work alongside people to help them discover what they are passionate about. Together we will explore creative ways to work with your aptitudes. Sometimes the very act of getting to know yourself on a deeper level can open up doorways to a path that you may not have expected.

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.
