Career Counselling and Coaching in Burlington, Ontario.

According to one study, about 75% of the population feels stuck in a job that they find unsatisfying. It does not have to be that way! It is possible to pursue a vocation that maps on to your values, passion, natural abilities and environment. Whether you are new to Canada, just entering the work force, in transition, or functioning with a disability - a career counsellor can help you explore your options, discover your passion, and develop your skills to make good decisions about your future.

There can be a lot of pressure to figure out one’s career or to decide where one fits within a particular field. Oftentimes this is a winding road rather than a straight route. Within therapy, I will support you in identifying and exploring the values, goals, interests, and passions most important to you so that you can make decisions about your career that feel right to you. I will also work with you to process possible obstacles along the way such as (and certainly not limited to) challenging work dynamics, stress and burnout, and difficulties finding a work/life balance. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

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.

Being a trained Life Coach, I help clients identify their dreams, bent and natural gifts, so they can build careers which utilize their skill set. From there, I help them set SMART goals – i.e. Simple, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic & Time-focused – broken down into smaller goals, so they never get discouraged, plus they get to witness and celebrate their progress every step of the way. I believe in walking alongside the client in their journey to complete what they set out to do, tackling obstacles as they come – shyness, communication issues, confidence, etc. – so nothing will stop 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.

A career is more than just a way to pay the bills. Every person spends most of their life in their careers and the career satisfaction/non-satisfaction spills over to the person’s personal life, too. However, there are many variables that can lead to career dissatisfaction. It can be the environment, interpersonal relationships, the skills and talents required for the job, and ultimately the person’s view of the job. A successful career counselling helps the client to take a closer look at these variables and to tackle the issues that lead to an unhealthy career life. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

I consider professional development and career growth as an important part of self-realization. A career requires a lot: motivation, hard work, knowledge, skills, persistence, and passion. On the other hand, it gives a feeling of well-functioning, a satisfaction that efforts have paid off, a sense of belonging to community, and the sense of being proud of your achievements. For almost 20 years I have been helping people to build their careers and accomplish more than they expected in the beginning of counselling. Sometimes people are not aware of their potentials, inner resources, and hidden talents they have. I invite you to explore how far you can go!
