Career Counselling and Coaching in Bobcaygeon, Ontario.

Finding a career that works for you is more than a job, it is about finding what lights you up, what motivates you, what you feel confident in, where you feel most free to be yourself. Or perhaps it is finding a path that fits with your lifestyle. Often we feel stuck, creatively blocked or trapped and cannot see a way out or a way to transition or we might struggle with not feeling good enough or confusion. I am here to support you through all these feelings, to work with you to find hope for the future and your potential in it.

Have you lost your job or need to consider a career change? Are you unsatisfied in your current career but uncertain of where to step next? I take a values-driven and meaning-based approach to assisting clients with important life transitions, including career change, in order to assist in navigating not only what is out there, but what is it you truly want to find. Sometimes we lose sight of where we wanted to go underneath the routine of getting by or doing what we think we should. I believe it is possible to have a job that not only fulfills your needs financially, but lines up with your purpose and potential.

Your chosen career path is a reflection of where you want to go and what you want to accomplish in your lifetime. However, due to physical, mental, economic, familial, or emotional limitations, among others, it is possible that you may feel you are unable to work towards your desired career path. Additionally, it is possible that you may be unaware of what your career path might be. In career therapy, we will explore your interests, desires, strengths and challenges, your spirituality, education level and social, political or economical limitations, to discover what work might be meaningful, suitable and fruitful for you. We will then create a plan to work towards your desired career path.

Are you feeling stuck and like you want to move forward or make a change in your career path, but aren't sure where to start? By exploring your values and your belief systems, together we can begin to map out a list of options that are likely to bring you joy and fulfillment in your life in the long term. By exploring these options in our sessions through thoughtful and reflective discussion, we can begin to create a shortlist and really hone in on what it is that will provide you with joy, pride, and fulfillment in your work. I will help you to identify your strengths and offer alternative perspectives to help you find your way to a happy and successful career path.

Navigating our careers can be challenging and confusing. This process can become overwhelming, but with the help of a professional who is both compassionate and impartial, things can become more clear. Together we can explore areas of possibility for your future, and also work towards identifying and overcoming the emotional barriers that might get in the way of you reaching your career goals. Combining coaching techniques, with therapeutic techniques to regulate emotions, we can explore your professional aspirations and set out manageable steps to move towards them.

In our career exploration, we may use techniques such as free association, dream analysis, and transference to help you uncover underlying motivations, fears, and desires related to your career. By examining patterns of behaviour, recurring themes, and emotional reactions in the counselling sessions, you can gain insight into why you are drawn to specific professions, struggle with certain job-related challenges, or feel unfulfilled in your current work.

Everyone has gifts they were born with. Through various therapeutic modalities including expressive art therapy and mindfulness, I help guide individuals through an inward self exploration of these gifts. I will also help you to clarify and work towards your "best life," that is visioning your ideal work-life, relationship-life, family-life and social-life.
