Career Counselling and Coaching in Madoc, Ontario.

My approach to career counselling aims to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their careers, maximize their potential, and achieve personal and professional success and satisfaction. It involves exploring and evaluating factors such as interests, skills, values, personality traits, and life circumstances to help clients align their career goals with their personal and professional aspirations. It is a collaborative and client-centered process that considers the individual's unique circumstances, preferences, and goals for their future.

We spend the majority of our adult lives working. Is this work fulfilling? Does it have meaning beyond simply being a way to make money and sustain our lifestyle? My work as a career counsellor goes again to the root of issues with work. There is a soul level to the work we choose, a vocational element to it ("vocation" meaning a calling from the work—where the work actually chooses you rather than you choosing the work.) Spend the remainder of your life doing something that brings sustenance to your soul as well as food on your table!

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!

Career questions can arise during periods of transition, burnout, or when work begins to feel disconnected from personal meaning and purpose.

You are the only one that knows which career choice will be right for you. However, sometimes it can be hard to tune into your own intuition, especially within the mix of what you want, what you need and what others think. My role in therapy is to help you untangle all these knots and empower you to make a decision that you feel is your own. This may involve collaborating to understand what your intrinsic values are, how you define success and what needs are important for you to fulfill. Call today so we can find a path you can call your own!

Having been through a number of different careers in my life I have the first-hand experience of knowing what it feels like to go through such transitions.

I can help you find your passion through your journey on the path you are creating. We are all writing our own story and this is only a chapter in your book. Consider the possibility of the next chapter to be life changing and your possibilities could be endless.

My approach to career counseling is not about personality tests or resume tips. It’s about helping clients navigate the deeper questions that arise when work feels disconnected from identity, purpose, or vitality. Often, career distress signals a deeper misalignment — between the life one has built and the person one is becoming. Together, we explore how attachment patterns, self-worth, relational dynamics, and existential concerns shape how you show up in your professional life. This is not about finding the perfect job — it’s about restoring right relationship with meaning, agency, and the kind of work that supports who you are becoming.
