Career Counselling and Coaching in Streetsville, Ontario.

Having been through a number of different careers in my life I have the first-hand experience of knowing what it feels like to go through such transitions. For so many years I couldn't find my passion which created a lot of drawbacks in my life. Today I don't see these as drawbacks but stepping stones to be where I am today. I can help you find your passion through your journey on the path you are creating. We are all writing our own story and this is only a chapter in your book. Consider the possibility of the next chapter to be life changing and your possibilities could be endless.

Career counselling is an important step to consider when feeling confused, misaligned, or even unsure of a current job or education function. This can apply to current students, recent graduates, and professionals to explore issues affecting their career or education development. You may be unsure of what you can or what you want to do with your degree, viewing it in a linear way. This can limit you by not thinking about the wealth of options that are available to you. If you are experiencing difficulty making a career decision, feeling overwhelmed and confused with your options, or if you are unsure of how your major relates to the work world, career counselling can be very beneficial.

There can be a lot of pressure to figure out one’s career or to decide where one fits within a particular field. Oftentimes this is a winding road rather than a straight route. Within therapy, I will support you in identifying and exploring the values, goals, interests, and passions most important to you so that you can make decisions about your career that feel right to you. I will also work with you to process possible obstacles along the way such as (and certainly not limited to) challenging work dynamics, stress and burnout, and difficulties finding a work/life balance. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

My approach to career counselling aims to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their careers, maximize their potential, and achieve personal and professional success and satisfaction. It involves exploring and evaluating factors such as interests, skills, values, personality traits, and life circumstances to help clients align their career goals with their personal and professional aspirations. It is a collaborative and client-centered process that considers the individual's unique circumstances, preferences, and goals for their future.

Being a trained Life Coach, I help clients identify their dreams, bent and natural gifts, so they can build careers which utilize their skill set. From there, I help them set SMART goals – i.e. Simple, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic & Time-focused – broken down into smaller goals, so they never get discouraged, plus they get to witness and celebrate their progress every step of the way. I believe in walking alongside the client in their journey to complete what they set out to do, tackling obstacles as they come – shyness, communication issues, confidence, etc. – so nothing will stop them!

Some of the dominant things which make up our identity as adults are the thoughts and feelings which we associate with our career. Facing a career change then, be it because of choice or circumstance, can often have the power to affect our entire emotional being.

Sometimes we feel a little lost in our careers - whether due to focus, lack of progress, or generally not knowing what we want to do with our lives.

Career coaching is different for everyone, and I can help.

A career is more than just a way to pay the bills. Every person spends most of their life in their careers and the career satisfaction/non-satisfaction spills over to the person’s personal life, too. However, there are many variables that can lead to career dissatisfaction. It can be the environment, interpersonal relationships, the skills and talents required for the job, and ultimately the person’s view of the job. A successful career counselling helps the client to take a closer look at these variables and to tackle the issues that lead to an unhealthy career life. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Those who have a specific career goal they desire will often face obstacles which may become frustrating and overwhelming. For instance, an individual’s current place in a career or even their career path may be unsatisfying and discouraging and very often this may lead to depression, anxiety and stress. Sometimes, there are difficulties finding a new path and at C. S. Counselling, guidance in any of these areas can provide direction to leading a more fulfilling life by investigating desirable alternatives.

Shauna has a edge on career counselling and planning through the use of NBI thinking preference assessments that define your preferred ways of thinking, studying, learning, and interacting with the world. Through this powerful tool, individuals come to understand their preferred way of thinking, working, and engaging the world, leading them to make positive and creative choices for their education and career aspirations.

Dr. Strauss offers career counseling through New Leaf Psychology Centre. In order to facilitate decision making, sessions will first assess your current skills, assets and interests. Your level of fulfillment at your current place of work, and obstacles to fulfillment will also be discussed. Potential career changes will be reviewed, with the goal of helping you come to a decision that you are comfortable with.

I consider professional development and career growth as an important part of self-realization. A career requires a lot: motivation, hard work, knowledge, skills, persistence, and passion. On the other hand, it gives a feeling of well-functioning, a satisfaction that efforts have paid off, a sense of belonging to community, and the sense of being proud of your achievements. For almost 20 years I have been helping people to build their careers and accomplish more than they expected in the beginning of counselling. Sometimes people are not aware of their potentials, inner resources, and hidden talents they have. I invite you to explore how far you can go!

A career is more complex than most people think. It is intertwined with identity, aspirations and values. During our sessions we will not be focused on finding the “perfect” job or an infallible 5-year plan. Instead, we will investigate your passions, values, and skills. We will discover fears, hopes and the story you have used for historical career decisions. By doing this we will be able to develop meaningful steps towards your personal fulfillment.

Whether you are a student who is confused about their future career or a working professional established in your field, feeling uncertain about your career can be overwhelming. By working together we will highlight your strengths, values, and skills to find what path will feel the most satisfying to you. We will work on optimizing your resume, practicing interviewing skills, and improving on communication/boundaries and how they will impact your career.

If you are undecided, anxious or confused about your next educational and/or career direction, working with me can help you clarity and gain knowledge about your unique “career profile “and specific careers and/or educational options that are in line with your personality, interests, skills, abilities, academic achievements, values, and goals (and the situation on the labour market). I am certified to administer and interpret vocational and career testing instruments.

Your career can be fulfilling - you need to decide to make it so. We will uncover what your career goals are, whether that is in your current work life or something different. We will consider many aspects including your inner desires, your short and long term goals, and we will assess your strengths and interests. From there, we you will work on exercises and specific action plans to uncover if your interests are truly that. Step-by-step we will work toward uncovering a more fulfilling career.

We spend the majority of our adult lives working. Is this work fulfilling? Does it have meaning beyond simply being a way to make money and sustain our lifestyle? My work as a career counsellor goes again to the root of issues with work. There is a soul level to the work we choose, a vocational element to it ("vocation" meaning a calling from the work—where the work actually chooses you rather than you choosing the work.) Spend the remainder of your life doing something that brings sustenance to your soul as well as food on your table!

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.

My approach to helping clients in the area of work and career often relates to interpersonal problems in employment settings, difficulties managing work-life balance, and questions surrounding changing careers. Often clients come in with concerns around how to make changes to their employment situation, and they have various anxieties surrounding the risk that comes with making these life changes. In treatment, I help clients address their anxieties and fears, and we work together to seek solutions.

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.
