Career Counselling
If you’re grappling with deeper questions about your career path—such as how your personal values, interests, identity, or external factors like family expectations, cultural influences, and financial responsibilities fit into your choices and broader life—or if you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or uncertain about the future, a career counsellor can help. Career counsellors are trained to support both your mental health and career development, helping you explore underlying challenges, navigate personal and external pressures, work through blocks, and make informed, fulfilling career decisions that align with your unique circumstances.

Career Assessments
Career Counsellors may use a range of career assessments to support your career exploration and decision-making.
Our counsellors will work with you to determine which tools are most appropriate for your individual needs, goals, and stage of career development. While you may be curious about a specific assessment, recommendations are based on professional judgment and best practices to ensure the most helpful and meaningful experience for you.
