Career Guidance Therapists in London, ON
As a former business executive, I understand the challenges that come with being a busy professional and can work with matters that impact your career and life.
People often seek out therapy to work on their problems when really, it's their solutions that are no longer working. Does this sound familiar? As a skilled therapist, I will partner with you to clarify what is important and help you design creative, meaningful and lasting change in your life. In our work together, you will notice that I am very encouraging, and I will challenge you when you look like you could use it. Together we will create a space where you can bravely experience the sometimes-uncomfortable feelings that come with personal growth.

Imagine a life where there is freedom? Flexibility? Time for you? Imagine waking up to a career that you are excited about and want to excel in? I have over 10 years of experience in entrepreneurship and with a business and career counselling background I can work with you to make this dream a reality.
Have you been working the same 9-5 job for the last ten years and getting the same pay? Do you dread to get up in the morning and wish you could just go back to bed? Are you wanting to become an entrepreneur and create your own path? Do you feel stuck or need guidance in your career? Do you feel like you can never give a 100% to any area of your life? Do you feel exhausted by the time you come home from work and finish all your tasks & commitments to the family?

How are you? This question might seem simple, yet it's often the hardest to answer honestly, especially if you're accustomed to masking your struggles and pretending everything is fine. If, behind closed doors, you find yourself grappling with feelings of anxiety, burnout, or uncertainty about your relationships or career, know that you're not alone. As a Registered Social Worker, my days are dedicated to supporting women like you through the intricacies of affair recovery, career and life transitions, low mood, and more, helping you find your voice and regain control over your life.

Working as a psychologist is a second career for me.
Many of my clients feel lost or stuck in their lives. They often feel troubled by their relationships, work situations, unmet dreams, and transitions into different stages of life. Our culture does not offer many forums for authentic exploration of life's challenges. My work supports you in exploring the underlying causes of such feelings as anxiety, depression, fear, emptiness, despair, resentment, anger.

Navigating challenges in our lives is hard to do at the best of times, but even harder if we’re doing it alone. Therapy is all about partnership: both you and me working together to meet your goals. We start with aligning your goals with your values as our values can help shape our direction for change and self-discovery. I work to create a safe and supportive space to process difficult feelings, develop coping skills and grow self-awareness. While I have experience working with a variety of concerns, I am particularly passionate about working with anxiety, depression, relational issues, life and career transitions, and self-esteem.

Stories have always intrigued me because they helped me to understand how other people think and see the world. I see the power of personal narratives to limit or expand what my clients think is possible. The focus of my practice is periods of transition. Transitions occur at all stages of life. They can include a new diagnosis, the loss of employment, the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a new sexual or gender identity, recovery after illness, or a faith crisis. I also offer supervision for clinicians navigating their own life transitions or beginning a new career in social work as a second or third act.

Has work stress been keeping you up at night? Do you feel stuck, frustrated, and drained? What about your relationships? Are you feeling sad, anxious, or unsure? Have you gone through a recent life transition, such as leaving for post-secondary, a job change, or retirement? Perhaps you’ve endured the loss of a loved one or a special pet. Maybe you have a health issue, or are a senior, trying to navigate the loss of some functionality. Or are you someone who has struggled with sharing something from your past and feel that it may be time to discuss it?

Career Guidance Counsellors
How do I know if I need career counselling?
Determining whether a career counsellor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counselling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counsellor.
Who can benefit from career counselling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counselling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counselling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counsellor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counselling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counselling typically last?
The length of career counselling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counselling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counsellor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counselling?
Clients can prepare for career counselling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counsellor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counsellor, particularly if the career counsellor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counselling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
