Employment Coaching and Counselling Services

Traditionally, career counselling was done to help individuals move from school to work. This model no longer applies. That's because career decisions are no longer one-time events. We now need to make career decisions throughout our working lives. People make transitions from being employed to laid off to unemployed. They move to new communities. They move from full-time work to retirement. They move from one field of work to another in mid-career. All of these changes can disturb our sense of balance and equilibirum.

People seek career development assistance when they feel that their working lives are out of balance in some way. There is too much of one thing, or not enough of another. This often leads us to think that, if we could change this one thing, our working life would be better. But this is generally not the way things work out. Our lives are complex systems. This means that changing one aspect of our work will often have an unexpected (and even unwelcome) effects on other aspects.

My role as a coach/counsellor is to help you learn more about the work-related values and concerns that are important to you, how they hang together to give you the sense of balance you seek, and how they can be adjusted to restore that sense of balance.
