The two most important aspects of a person's life plan are their career path planning and their home life planning. A person who does both of these well is almost always a happy person. Formulating a career path with my clients is a very important part of my practice because I realize how extremelly important it is for their well-being. Generally I suggest in my career counselling with clients that, if a client does what they love to do, they will usually be successful. I urge my career clients to ensure that they are in a positive mood, very present and in touch with their emotions when designing their career path.

My approach is to thoroughly review with the client their background story, noting recurring themes, influences or identified mentors. Then it is to define various strengths, whether it be noting core values/skills/aptitudes, interests. There are some proven career testing tools used to identify some credible options in the process. Confidence starts to build at this stage whether it be for a young adult contemplating a first career or a mid life career transition. The decision-making as to choosing what path to follow is crystalized when doing some further research into their highest ranking options. This may be done through exploring career data bases and information gathering interviews.
