Your chosen career path is a reflection of where you want to go and what you want to accomplish in your lifetime. However, due to physical, mental, economic, familial, or emotional limitations, among others, it is possible that you may feel you are unable to work towards your desired career path. Additionally, it is possible that you may be unaware of what your career path might be. In career therapy, we will explore your interests, desires, strengths and challenges, your spirituality, education level and social, political or economical limitations, to discover what work might be meaningful, suitable and fruitful for you. We will then create a plan to work towards your desired career path.

Career change can be a very important and stressful time in anyone's life. Figuring out what you want to do for your livelihood, if you are lucky, is a choice relating to purpose and fulfillment. For many people, it is a simpler aspect of the necessity of earning a living, but the stresses related to it regardless of whether we live to work or work to live, can be the cause of anxiety and depression. The relationships we have in our workplace can also have a great impact on our mood and behaviour. The challenges in workplace relationships can have their origins in other relationships and require exploration. Having changed careers myself, I understand the inherent challenges it brings.
