Career Counselling and Coaching in Mississauga, 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.

Career Counselling is a process that may involve several sessions designed to accomplish the following: 1. Improved Self-awareness – by exploring your interests, values, skills and strengths, and personality, as they relate to career possibly through the use of targeted assessments. 2. Career research – is designed to help narrow down options. I will provide you with useful resources and have you complete information interviews with individuals doing the work. 3. Decision making and planning – Finalizing a decision and building out a transition plan (if required). We can also discuss fine tuning resume/cover letter, job search strategy, and interview coaching. Please let me know if you require further information.

A career is more complex than most people think. It is intertwined with identity, aspirations and values. During our sessions we will not be focused on finding the “perfect” job or an infallible 5-year plan. Instead, we will investigate your passions, values, and skills. We will discover fears, hopes and the story you have used for historical career decisions. By doing this we will be able to develop meaningful steps towards your personal fulfillment.

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.

Career counselling is an important step to consider when feeling confused, misaligned, or even unsure of a current job or education function. This can apply to current students, recent graduates, and professionals to explore issues affecting their career or education development. You may be unsure of what you can or what you want to do with your degree, viewing it in a linear way. This can limit you by not thinking about the wealth of options that are available to you. If you are experiencing difficulty making a career decision, feeling overwhelmed and confused with your options, or if you are unsure of how your major relates to the work world, career counselling can be very beneficial.

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.

Our careers are important parts of our lives. People have often said that if you do something that you enjoy, you won’t work a day in your life. However, how do you find and decide on what you enjoy? How do you know what is the best fit for you? As a therapist, I support you in better understanding yourself, your life, and your choices to make career decisions that feel like they align with your most authentic self. I strive to make your opinions and choices clearer to you, while allowing you to take on various perspectives to come to the best decision. My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling confident, empowered, and more knowledgeable on what may be a fit for you. Connect with me to

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.

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!

Starting my second career in life, I had the benefit of a career counselor who guided me to not just a job but a vocation that I now love and enjoy. Through a psychotherapy coaching blend I can understand my clients and their particular desires in life and their limiting beliefs. I help clients with choosing post secondary and graduate level educational paths, job counseling, second career counseling, finding a career with greater personal satisfaction and retirement planning.

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.
