Career Coaching
WHAT IS CAREER COACHING?
Career coaching is one-on-one support offered by a professional counsellor or coach to address career development, growth, new direction, transitions, conflicts, changes, and blocks that can prevent us from reaching the next level at work. Coaching is designed to empower people in making informed decisions about their career, identify and challenge any limiting beliefs and resolve areas of "stuckness". Career coaching is results-oriented, solution-focused, and focuses on accountability and taking action.
Career coaching can benefit people at any stage in their working life, from student transitions and decision making, to building a new resume/CV, to working toward a promotion or self-employment, to grappling with conflicts or unhappiness at work, to making significant decisions, or to retiring. Coaching is designed to increase your sense of confidence, inspire you to think differently, shift your perspective, overcome challenges and enhance your existing strengths.
SIGNS YOU MAY BENEFIT FROM CAREER COACHING
HOW TO RESOLVE CAREER ISSUES
Not everyone seeks the help of a career coach when facing these issues, as there are ways to get clarity through a mentor, some great books, meditating, etc. However, when there is a feeling of stuckness, inaction can delay us and even prevent us from achieving what we're truly capable of. Many people never move forward and that's okay (it's it's okay with them)! If that's not quite okay with you, then seeking external support through a career coach or counsellor can move things forward a lot quicker for you.
What is the difference between a counsellor and a coach? A counsellor has skills in helping to resolve psychological components to what could be blocking that forward movement in your career, in addition to coaching skills. Someone who is only a coach may have to refer you to a counsellor if it is revealed that there are deeper issues to work through. At FreeMind Therapy, all of our Counsellors can provide career coaching to give you full support all in one service. To learn more, fill out our contact form, or book a consultation or session today.
