Passionate about life design, I take a solution focused approach to provide one-on-one career counselling/coaching.
Sometimes we end up in jobs (and lives) that no longer meet our needs, values and purpose in life. This can be problematic, especially when they can consume all of our daily energy and start to interfere with our wellbeing. Unclear goals, a lack of confidence, uncertainty about the labour market, a lack of awareness about or motivation to work to our full potential and inadequate skills can all affect our ability to move forward. Typical clients are no longer passionate about what they're doing and want to transition into a more meaningful, purposeful and balance life.
