Career Counselling and Coaching in Pelham, Ontario.

I can provide strategies for you to find new or different employment successfully. I'm not only a registered psychotherapist but I'm also a success coach. I have a PhD in leadership and policy and a background in business. I've had many jobs and careers from modelling, personal training, to a Bell operator and a Purolator driver. I've been in retail sales, and sold photocopies, PR, and software. I've been a teacher of primary/junior students, and professor in sales, and a professor in graduate education. I have owned a restaurant, and a tutoring company. I am sure I have missed something! I'm reinventing myself once again looking to be an author! Let me help you find your way!

I help clients with addictive behaviours or substance use that is interfering with their ability to achieve a fulfilling career. Through collaborative conversations, clients gain a sense of purpose and direction, overcoming barriers to making meaningful progress in their professional life. Gaining a sense of control over one's life allows for increased confidence and self-esteem. I help clients build the motivation necessary to take steps toward a future filled with passion, thriving, and mental resilliance.

Through our sessions, clients gain clarity on their strengths, values, and aspirations, enabling them to make informed decisions about their professional lives. We explore potential barriers such as self-doubt or fear of change, and develop strategies to overcome them. By fostering self-awareness and confidence, therapy empowers clients to set achievable goals and navigate career transitions with resilience. Whether it's exploring new opportunities, advancing in their current role, or seeking a more satisfying work-life balance, therapy provides invaluable support in achieving career success and personal fulfillment.

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.

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 counseling is one of my favorite areas of therapy (and coaching). Choosing a career or making a career change can be incredibly confusing and frustrating when you don't know where to start, and it's easy to get lost in the details. There are so many factors that go into a big decision like this! As a later-in-life career changer I can relate. As a master's level Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) I have access to different personality assessments and strengths inventories that can be a solid starting point for deciding on new, second or third career. Another tool to help you move in the right direction is identifying your values - what you value in life and in a career.

Understanding which career you are best suited for can feel like an overwhelming process. With the support of a therapist, you can explore your individual strengths, skills, and values and how these may apply to a fulfilling career. You can also work collaboratively on developing a course of action to pursue your professional goals. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.
