Life Coaching Therapists in East York, ON

“Career & Life Coach” Self doubt stifles your motivation, making you feel like an imposter in your career. You question your abilities to achieve goals. You avoid confrontation out of fear you will be disliked. You compare yourself with other colleagues. You overextend yourself hoping it will be rewarded. You are overwhelmed with having to meet key performance indicators. Your fear of failure prevents you from moving forward on projects. You feel discouraged to apply for promotions. Lacking self confidence, you wonder why you are experiencing a lag in your career and believe no one understands what you are going through.

Stress and anxiety are a daily part of many people's lives. After all, we live in a fast-paced culture where expectations, from ourselves and others, is ever-increasing. It is understandable to feel strained by your responsibilities, but are they weighing you down more than they are bringing you joy? Perhaps you want to make a life change but don't know how? Through counselling, also known as "talk therapy", I can help put you on the path to reaching your goals and taking control of your life.

You are capable and bright. You are ambitious and perseverant. But there are so many demands on your life, so many responsibilities. In juggling all the balls- children, spouse, your career, the house chores, friends- you find yourself exhausted and drained, and not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. All the sleep in the world does not seem to cut it. All the self care advice in your IG feed does not make a difference. You know you need to find a better way to live life, but where to get started? Is therapy the answer? Life coaching? Better self care? How about all of the above? Awareness + tools and techniques +action!

The cornerstone of my work is in building relationships where clients feel listened to, validated, and able to build trust in the therapeutic process. Together, we start with identifying areas of concern as well as personal strengths, and work towards finding strategies to move towards positive change. Through the process, there is a wonderful opportunity for learning more about yourself and those around you. Talking about issues that may be causing you distress is an incredibly important step in building life-long skills of self-awareness, self-care, and self-compassion.
