Career Counselling and Coaching in Stittsville, Ontario.

Are you an executive, front-line worker, therapist, medical professional, or academic looking for support as you journey through your career? Do you give so much to others, there is little left for yourself? Has the pandemic left you feeling burned out, exhausted, or like your career is impacting all aspects of your life and relationships? Are you too exhausted when you return home from work to do the hobbies or activities you once did? I will work with you to clarify your professional goals, identify obstacles to finding joy in your work and life, and explore any problematic emotions/behaviours that may be affecting your career.

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.

Who benefits from career counselling? You might be a student looking for direction or a person considering a career change. You may also be looking to delve deep and assess your talents, skills, interests, personality or learning style. Learning more about who you are and how you want to spend the next decades of your life are all considerations in career counselling. Assessment tools can be very helpful in making informed career choices and developing a personalized career path but are best utilized along with an experienced counsellor. Psychotherapeutic tools such as EFT and Mindfulness Based approaches can provide depths of understanding one's self.
