A career can bring great satisfaction to one's life.

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?

Or are you just such a different person now that its hard to understand what got you there in the first place?

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.

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!

Shauna has a edge on career counselling and planning through the use of NBI thinking preference assessments that define your preferred ways of thinking, studying, learning, and interacting with the world. Through this powerful tool, individuals come to understand their preferred way of thinking, working, and engaging the world, leading them to make positive and creative choices for their education and career aspirations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In career counselling, you will have a chance to reflect on your values as they relate to your work. I can support you to build awareness on aspects of a career from which you derive meaning. People that go on for many years without having a sense of meaning in their profession feel distressed. When this distress is neglected, you may feel as though you are depriving a part of yourself.
