Career Counselling and Coaching in St Thomas, Ontario.

We often question our career choices and work environment. Toxic people and disorganized work sites, downsizing and re organization can lead to anxiety, depression and burnout. I will help you reflect on your career choice and work environment to explore your strengths and where your professional life lies in the future. Reflecting on your strengths, education, professional aspirations and the job market we can re route your work life to rekindle your motivation. Understanding and learning about how to manage personalities in your work place will also enhance your work experience and open up new opportunities.

Have you lost your job or need to consider a career change? Are you unsatisfied in your current career but uncertain of where to step next? I take a values-driven and meaning-based approach to assisting clients with important life transitions, including career change, in order to assist in navigating not only what is out there, but what is it you truly want to find. Sometimes we lose sight of where we wanted to go underneath the routine of getting by or doing what we think we should. I believe it is possible to have a job that not only fulfills your needs financially, but lines up with your purpose and potential.

In our career exploration, we may use techniques such as free association, dream analysis, and transference to help you uncover underlying motivations, fears, and desires related to your career. By examining patterns of behaviour, recurring themes, and emotional reactions in the counselling sessions, you can gain insight into why you are drawn to specific professions, struggle with certain job-related challenges, or feel unfulfilled in your current work.

Are you considering a new career? Or, do you feel like you have never really had a career to begin with? Finding joy in what you do is a gift and we would be grateful in being a part of this journey. Whether you are interested in a career aptitude test, or counselling to assist you in connecting to your interests and needs, we are here to help you.

I can provide strategies for you to find new or different employment successfully. I'm not only a registered psychotherapist but I'm also a success coach. I have a PhD in leadership and policy and a background in business. I've had many jobs and careers from modelling, personal training, to a Bell operator and a Purolator driver. I've been in retail sales, and sold photocopies, PR, and software. I've been a teacher of primary/junior students, and professor in sales, and a professor in graduate education. I have owned a restaurant, and a tutoring company. I am sure I have missed something! I'm reinventing myself once again looking to be an author! Let me help you find your way!

Understanding which career you are best suited for can feel like an overwhelming process. With the support of a therapist, you can explore your individual strengths, skills, and values and how these may apply to a fulfilling career. You can also work collaboratively on developing a course of action to pursue your professional goals. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.
