Career Counselling and Coaching in Madoc, Ontario.

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!

Dr. Strauss offers career counseling through New Leaf Psychology Centre. In order to facilitate decision making, sessions will first assess your current skills, assets and interests. Your level of fulfillment at your current place of work, and obstacles to fulfillment will also be discussed. Potential career changes will be reviewed, with the goal of helping you come to a decision that you are comfortable with.

Even the thought of building a career can feel overwhelming and it can be difficult to know where to start.

Career questions can arise during periods of transition, burnout, or when work begins to feel disconnected from personal meaning and purpose. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in both the corporate & not-for-profit sectors, and was a peer mentor supporting colleagues through professional challenges & development. This informed my approach to career counseling today. Drawing on ACT and narrative therapy, I help clients step back from immediate pressures to reflect on their strengths, values, and the broader story of their working lives. Clients benefit from increased clarity about career choices while developing practical strategies for navigating the workplace.

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.

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!

If you are undecided, anxious or confused about your next educational and/or career direction, working with me can help you clarity and gain knowledge about your unique “career profile “and specific careers and/or educational options that are in line with your personality, interests, skills, abilities, academic achievements, values, and goals (and the situation on the labour market). I am certified to administer and interpret vocational and career testing instruments.
