Career Counselling and Coaching in North Delta, British Columbia.

If you are in a career transition or trying to decide what you love to do then I have the tools to help! Using proven methods, strategic questions and support we can begin to pinpoint your dream career. We can narrow down the field of choice by looking at your natural abilities, preferences and talents. Whether you are in a career crisis or you want to spend the time making slow focussed changes I can help guide you through the process.

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.

Careers play a huge role in a person's life and can become a source of conflict if the person is unhappy with their chosen path, co-workers/boss, position, income, growth, and/or required efforts/hours. I help clients navigate their personal career struggles to find solutions to their turmoil. For some that looks like finding a better suited career while for others it can be communication strategies to help them resolve the issues at their current employment. Whatever the case, we develop a clear plan to resolve the career issue at hand.

I thoroughly enjoy working with young adult clients on assisting them in beginning their career journey. I also work with adult clients who are in the beginning stages of making career changes including going back to school. I know how scary "change" can be especially when it has financial implications. Career Counselling with me begins with developing rapport and relationships. We move at a pace you are comfortable with and examine the variables involved in decision-making. I support clients throughout the change process.

We spend up to 1/3 of our life in our careers!! As a former Human Resources Manager this is an area that is really exciting. Not only will I help you identify your skill set, but help you identify your passion, your purpose and your personality type that will help you see what career is best suited to you. I can also help you identify and develop areas that will help you expand your interviewing skills, your social media profile, your resume and your confidence and also understand the hiring climate that you are in.

Our career can play a huge role in our life as we devote a large amount of our time and energy to it and often seek a sense of purpose and fulfillment. I have personally made a number of scary career transitions while working to fulfill my potential and find joy in what I do and these scary changes that often included working through paralyzing fear and having to get quite creative made me very passionate about supporting others on a similar quest to find more fulfillment in your work and daily life.

To incorporate an SFBT approach to help clients identify their own resiliency from a strength based perspective. To use positive psychology language and focus on solution when clients may be wanting to explore other careers or feel stuck in their current one. To assist clients remember and identify past adversities and their history of overcoming situational challenges.

We offer Type B tools and evaluations to evaluate behavior, career aspirations, personality traits, personal preference, and career counselling. We offer standardized tests to evaluate each individual in order to assist you in identifying patterns, beliefs, and the origin of your thoughts and desires as a human. There is often a difference between what we WANT to do and what we are GOOD at performing. We might love the idea of being a teacher, but lack patience. We might love the idea of being an Emergency Room Physician but we dislike chaos and uncertainty. Let us help you determine your career path

As a counsellor and coach, I can help you to: • Take stock of your training and work/life experience up until now • Tap into your dreams for your work-life • Look realistically at your strengths and weaknesses, the opportunities and limitations in your present situation • Create a realistic plan of action, which might include: further consideration of what came up in session, gathering resources, information interviewing (I can teach you how if it’s new), and taking concrete steps toward your goals Studies have shown that being accountable to someone like a coach, increases success.

It is one thing to embark on a new career path, and a whole other to find the sweet spot of purpose, contribution, vitality and practical stability that leads to a really fulfilling vocation. The latter requires the courage to allow, shape and stay with a vision and the skills to navigate the inevitable peaks and valleys in confidence that are natural to the process. It is necessary to develop the ability to structure your own time toward your goal, maintaining the stability necessary to take new opportunities and creative risks. I offer coaching for those motivated to move into this place.

Career counselling has never been more important because our life journeys have never been more complex. Individuals change careers now more than ever; there’s an incredible amount of options in a rapidly changing landscape. And yet, there can also be stifling logistical constraints, a lack of opportunities, and precarious markets. I want to help you find a place where you feel accomplished, confident, valuable, and satisfied—but I know that is easier said than done. I can help you experiment, cope, succeed, and find a path that feels right. I work particularly well with students, young professionals, and graduate students.

I truly believe that choosing one single career path can be one of the more difficult decisions we have to make in life. At times it may feel like there is immense societal and cultural pressure to choose a specific career path, but at the end of the day, I am curious to explore what it is you value, free from outside judgements. Different people prioritize different factors when choosing a career, and it is important for me to help identify what your priorities are. From there we can brainstorm potential avenues and build motivation to help bring those thoughts into reality. It is often action that creates motivation, not the other way around.

"While Kathryn can do a lot of fantastic work for people at the low points of life, I believe she can have a massive impact on any business or person that is not in crisis... The famous "From Good To Great" book, film & ideology explored why some organizations do better than others. For a while many years ago it created a new paradigm for progressive thinking organizations. However, in most cases it was a short term shift, because the real and lasting change begins with individuals. Given the awareness of self and the tools to leverage ones own strengths and attributes in a way that is meaningful to you... that creates lasting change. So don't wait till your life is in crises to call...

In my approach to Career Counselling, I am dedicated to helping clients find meaningful and fulfilling career paths that align with their values, interests, and skills. I believe that a satisfying career is essential for overall well-being, and I work collaboratively with clients to explore their career goals, aspirations, and potential obstacles. Through personalized assessments, in-depth discussions, and strategic planning, clients can gain clarity about their professional journey and make informed decisions about their careers.

I help people gain clarity and a sense of purpose/ direction regarding their careers. I believe that "career" is an ever-evolving process, which occurs throughout people's life span. That is why I work with clients in a non-linear, creative way to help them cultivate a career that is fulfilling and life-giving. I also help clients with the mental health aspect of their careers, such as stress, anxiety. and burnout, which often interferes with their career satisfaction.

My approach to career counselling and planning is taken from the now famous resource Designing Your Life. We apply Design Thinking to reframe obstacles to opportunities in creative ways that may be impossible to imagine now. Then we design plans to give you the inspiration and practical experiences that prove what career decision will bring you the greatest happiness, fulfillment, and reward.

Having worked in the finance industry for many years, I help clients remove their blocks, create clarity and help with work towards their career(dream job). My treatment involves having the client work on: financial plan that includes their goals. We go through obstacles and mental blocks; and their fears of success. Clients feel motivated, they learn how to build resources, change their negative beliefs to positive, and learn new skills to communicate effective.

Working from TA perspective can provide clients with the tools and concepts applicable to both personal and professional development. Helping clients explore their interests, their likes, wishes and dreams will open the door for a co-creative process of finding one's talents, growing them and applying them in practice.

Career counseling, although a ‘named form’ of counseling in itself, is yet quite transient. Usually once I begin working with a client who is requesting career counseling, we find that the hiccups they are experiencing in their quest is based on fear, anxiety and/or stress, health issues, sometimes addictions (or the addictions of others), anger issues, depression, or even shrapnel from their family of origin. So I do not view career counseling as a sole issue but rather a symptom. I love to work in this arena since it allows me to be a CSI agent for an hour, unlocking hidden truths that have become speed bumps along life’s journey to achieve one’s personal best.

I adopt a client-centric approach focused on empowering individuals to navigate their professional journey with clarity and confidence. Through personalized assessments, goal-setting, and exploration of individual strengths and values, clients gain a deeper understanding of their career aspirations. I provide guidance on strategic decision-making, skill development, and effective job search strategies to align their career paths with personal goals. By fostering self-awareness and offering practical tools for professional development, clients benefit from a transformative experience that not only enhances their career trajectories but also promotes a sense of fulfillment and purpose.

For some, a career is a large part of one's identity. For others, it is simply a means to an end or a small part of a bigger picture. I approach career counselling by helping you discover and explore what a career and any related decisions mean for you. By doing this, I hope to help you uncover insight and clarity towards career choices and transitions.
