Career Counselling and Coaching in Regina, Saskatchewan.

The time and energy a person will invest in their career is huge. This is why taking the time to thoughtfully consider one's profession is a worthwhile investment. Career counselling is a huge passion of mine. I have experience offering career counselling in both the non-profit and post-secondary settings, which has given me a broad perspective of the different pathways available. Through a combination of therapeutic interviewing and professional assessment tools, I help clients choose meaningful career paths that align with what they value most. If you have been feeling confused or frustrated when it comes to choosing or changing a profession, this may be the missing piece to help.

Meaning is a powerful part of being happy and often depression and anxiety are a result of being in jobs or careers that does not give us meaning or joy. My goal for this area is to explore what is meaningful for clients and help them understand what they need to reach their goals towards meaningful careers or lives.

Through a supportive and goal-oriented approach, clients build confidence in their abilities, develop strategies for overcoming obstacles, and create actionable plans to achieve their professional aspirations. With career counseling, clients can find greater fulfillment, purpose, and success in their work.

For the past several years I have worked closely with executives and emerging leaders, and have developed training specific to the growth and development of leaders. I have provided counsel for people struggling in their position, and for others who were on their way up. In general, vocational and professional issues are not a lot different from other life issues. Some common principles apply, and the principles that underpin ACT therapy particularly apply. What do you value? What is getting in your way? How can you move yourself forward and not stay stuck? This is the case for average workers and for executives who seem to have it together.

I have worked with individuals who sought career counselling when they felt that they were needing to make a change due to an injury or illness, or as a result of interpersonal stress within the workplace. In other instances, individuals discovered they were unhappy or ill-suited to working in a career initially chosen. Through discussion about an individual's strengths and interests, as well as including the use of questionnaires, a client is able to explore other career choices better suited to their personality and goals.

While most career counselors love to give you capacity based profiles of what your talents and interests are for your best bet career choices, Grey Matters international believes that most people make predictably irrational decisions and then after making them learn way to make them fit into their identities using various types of rationalizations and strategies. We are able to assist folks in career counseling type settings by giving a deeper look at their decision making profile so they can better understand where the core frustration or desire is coming from in the world of work.
