Career Counselling and Coaching in Barrhaven, Ontario.

Career Counselling is very close to my heart because I personally spent a lot of years developing skills to leverage myself forward. I can work with individuals on activities to understand their interests, develop plans on how to engage in volunteering and career development skills. I am also very versed in various college and university programs and application procedures. I will work with you to make a multi-faceted plan so that you are able to move forward based on your interests and values to create a meaningful career and future for you!

Are you considering a new career? Or, do you feel like you have never really had a career to begin with? Finding joy in what you do is a gift and we would be grateful in being a part of this journey. Whether you are interested in a career aptitude test, or counselling to assist you in connecting to your interests and needs, we are here to help you.

Can this be it? Is this your purpose in life? Prior to working in therapy I worked in human resources for ten years and saw too many people in the wrong place working jobs they hated. There may be a better way. By exploring your values, interest and dreamsee we align you for the type of success you want. Skills are important, but it doesn't take talent to practice. Let's explore the best you we can.

Getting specific about career goals can be tough. Sandra Forbes, Relationship Soutions will help you focus on what is most important to you and where your gifts and challeges lie. Equipped with new information about yourself, and a new way of approaching your career path, you will be able to better determine what needs to change or where the best fit is for you. If you are dissatisfied in your position,we can work to identify where the specific dissatisfactions are coming from. How you relate to your career and choice of same is something that we can work with you to understand more deeply. Specific practices we design for you can propel you forward in new and surprising ways.

Even the thought of building a career can feel overwhelming. There are so many options, so many steps, and it be hard to know where to start. My approach to career counselling is to create a supportive environment for exploration where we can discover what makes you unique and find careers that fit your strengths, interests and values. We will work together to plan and implement the steps towards building your career so that you can feel less overwhelmed and more confident to take action.

Are you an executive, front-line worker, therapist, medical professional, or academic looking for support as you journey through your career? Do you give so much to others, there is little left for yourself? Has the pandemic left you feeling burned out, exhausted, or like your career is impacting all aspects of your life and relationships? Are you too exhausted when you return home from work to do the hobbies or activities you once did? I will work with you to clarify your professional goals, identify obstacles to finding joy in your work and life, and explore any problematic emotions/behaviours that may be affecting your career.

Sometimes in life we are uncertain with the academic direction we want to go in. Sometimes we are looking for what career we would like to be in after graduating or looking for a career change. Career counselling affords the opportunity to explore the association between one’s personality and the best suited academic and/or career choices. It is easy to be uncertain, confused and hesitant about what works both realistically and practically. Career counselling focuses on the individuals’ needs and wants.

Career counselling can help you understand the impact of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours on your well-being and professional success. Therapy can be helpful in addressing the root causes of your career anxieties and empowering you to achieve professional growth. I will assist you in effectively managing your life transitions through life, learning, and work changes. This process will help you to know and understand yourself, increasing your self-awareness, self-exploration, and understanding of the world of work in order to make career, educational, and life decisions.

Understanding which career you are best suited for can feel like an overwhelming process. With the support of a therapist, you can explore your individual strengths, skills, and values and how these may apply to a fulfilling career. You can also work collaboratively on developing a course of action to pursue your professional goals. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.

Feeling stuck in a career but paralyzed to make a move? Switching jobs but feeling terrified about all the unknowns? Counselling can help you with these transitions! We will use interventions that help you get to know yourself better. We'll also work together to help you reconnect with your values, intuition, gifts and talents to build confidence and make meaningful changes in your life.
