Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
Understanding how to manage your career can be a challenge, as can switching careers. Before becoming a Registered Psychotherapist I worked for 15+ years in corporate technology sales and held many different jobs. I also transitioned myself from that industry to where I am now ... and have never looked back! I would be happy to try and help you determine your goals and then create a realistic path to achieving them.
I employ my coaching skillset in this subject matter with clients.
I work with people in corporate jobs, fortune 500 executives, employees, managers (you name it) as well as entrepreneurs and solopreneurs that are experiencing challenges in their careers. They struggle with seeing themselves as successful, leading them to self sabotaging choices. I have found that people who are perennially unhappy or unsuccessful in their jobs may be because they are unclear as to what they actually want to do for a career. The lack of clarity impacts what they attract toward themselves or what they settle for. We work to get that clarity so that they can make amazing decisions to get them aligned with their life purpose.
Some suffer from self bullying inner talk and act in self sabotaging ways which compromises their ability to ask for what they want or their ability to draw appropriate boundaries. I find working on self value and self worth really changes the topography of their career goals and achievements.
Sometimes there is a pattern of projecting their family dynamics onto their work environment and repetitively playing out their family-of-origin issues. This damages their ability to thrive and be successful at their jobs. We work to decode this whole subconscious pattern that will then set them up for great professional relationships.

Even the thought of building a career can feel overwhelming. There are so many options, so many steps, and it be hard to know where to start. My approach to career counselling is to create a supportive environment for exploration where we can discover what makes you unique and find careers that fit your strengths, interests and values. We will work together to plan and implement the steps towards building your career so that you can feel less overwhelmed and more confident to take action.

Exploring a new career or navigating a sudden change can be stressful, and you don’t have to navigate the complexity alone. My approach to career counselling is gentle and structured. First, I look to explore your good reasons for wanting to make a change or shift in your work. Next, we will articulate and outline your purpose and intentions for a next step in your career. It’s normal for career shifts to feel both unsettling and invigorating; my aim is to gently work with you to find the most preferred next step. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

We all strive to be successful in life; however, we can sometimes lose sight of the boundaries that can help us get there in a safe and healthy way. Issues such as workplace harassment, stress, overworking, lack of self-esteem, confidence, fear of failure, anxiety and many others can be easily addressed through hypnosis.
