Whether it’s how to find your career identity as a young professional, asking the existential "who am I?" as a senior professional, or how to approach a difficult situation at work after 10 years in the same job, you’ve come to the right place.
I do career counselling to help you move towards the life you want. Sometimes career decisions happen through happenstance or, because of “shoulds” imposed by others.
I’m here to guide you in leaning into the step-by-step process of career exploration (self-reflection, research, creating an action plan).
Self-reflection includes in-depth discussions and assessments around 4 important areas of your life that create a foundation for career decision-making: your interests, values, skills/knowledge and personal qualities.
This information is mined through discussion, feedback, and assessments that can unlock answers and help you find that confidence & clarity when it comes to exploring those big life questions.
Career identity is a life-long process but I have found that clients who are open & engaged, motivated to make a change, and complete the process with the tools I offer, tend to develop clarity after a few months (on average) of regular counselling sessions.
Career counselling has a beginning, middle and an end and can bring up tricky emotions, so I'm here to guide you through the process and encourage you to use intuition. These services may be covered under "counselling" in your healthcare benefits depending on your insurance provider.
If you feel you would prefer personal counselling therapy, book a free consult so I can hear your story and assess your needs.
Assessments
Do you feel "lost" or "have too many interests"? Are you not sure how to talk about yourself or maybe want to learn about your values? Learn how your unique personality, values and interests line up with your ideal career and acquire the vocabulary you need to move forward with confidence. Read my blog on assessments.
