Career Counselling and Coaching in Puslinch, Ontario.

At MCCG we understand that what you do for work is closely linked to your sense of identity. In fact, the workplace is where we will spend most of our time next to the home. Therefore, it can be upsetting when one does not feel satisfied or fulfilled with their current employment circumstances. Our therapists can help guide you to figure out what career best fits with your values, skills and goals and help you to implement necessary changes in your life.

You spend a lot of your time at work. Who and where you spend this time is important for your overall health and wellbeing. Whether you are graduating, new to your career, or you are wondering if a change from your current career is the right move for you, I will help you make the best decisions for your life. Together we will set goals and focus on what is best for you in your life.

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!

We all strive for a career that we are passionate about. Yet when we constantly wake up and resent going to work, or resent not being able to find work, it starts to affect us negatively. Maybe our productivity decreases, or we take our day home with us. Either way, our lives begin to revolve around something that is seemingly spiraling out of control. I want to share that you are not alone and there is help out there. This starts with change, and working towards taking control of your life. We can work together to see what change means for you, and develop a plan to help you get there. A more meaningful career is out there, call today.

You will find our work together in counselling/ coaching very goal focused. We will met the aspects keeping you stuck head on! This work can range from figuring out your next steps to being concrete in your search and interview skills. Much of the work I have done to date has included learning more about the persons style and how to approach your career in a manner that highlights your skills rather then trying to fit you into the box you think you "should" fit into.

Very often our choice of career comes from a necessity rather than from going for our dream job. Few step back and take time to observe what they are good at while at the same time going for their dream. IDestiny is a trade mark of this therapist who has been working with people that are unhappy with the choices they previously made regarding their career. Opportunity is waiting for us all.

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.

Career Counselling is a unique field as it is constantly changing. Traditionally, career counselling followed a straight linear path - You finished high school, got training, got a job and stayed there until retirement. Now, however, career planning is anything but simple and linear. Trends like globalization and increased contract work, mean that planning your career is not a simple, straight forward process. I have been helping teens and adults find their career passion, while still helping them meet their current and future needs.

Sometimes people flounder without passion, vision or satisfaction in their career ... even if they experience some financial success. This is most often the outcome of an inadequately developed sense of 'self'. But the wonderful news is that it can be corrected! It is possible to learn why you feel no career passion... and then to FEEL it! Life is so much better with passion and vision. I invite you to read my blog at www.marycmanson.com

A career can bring great satisfaction to one's life. However at times, it can also cause work overload, additional stressors to our lives and even cause more extreme cases involving anxiety and/or depression. There are many issues/reasons that can come into play with regards to work. Whether deciding on a career or career change or wanting to work through career challenges, I am here to offer support!

The Refuge offers career and life coaching services in combination with psychotherapy, for clients who are seeking both. Identifying your strengths, interests and transferable skills are and possible career paths to explore is part of the process, encouraging you to "dream big" while still being mindful of the logistics of your finances and personal/family obligations. Together we can also explore labour market information, write resumes and cover letters, and prepare for interviews, as well as work on the underlying emotional and mental barriers that may be creating anxiety, affecting your confidence or preventing you from taking the next steps in your life and career.

Are you struggling to figure out what to do after high school? Do you feel sometimes that you don't even know what you like, and that it would be impossible to make a choice about a future career? Are you at a point in your adult life that you just want a career change because you aren't happy where you are? Have you outgrown your career and feel stuck? Or are you just such a different person now that its hard to understand what got you there in the first place? Maybe you want someone to help you decide if going back to school is the right decision at this stage in your life. Or maybe you just want someone to ask you the right question to find your own solution. I would like to help you.

People need lives filled with purpose and meaning. More so then ever before, people are leaving or thinking about leaving jobs that are life destroying in favour of careers that are in line with their greater life vision. Do you need help becoming aware and identifying this vision or do you already have a vision and just don't know how to implement it in your work? I would be honoured to support you to find heart based work that is financially rewarding.
