• Post-Review Reflection: After independently exploring potential careers, we meet again to refine your options and create a customized vocational report.

Our clients come from a variety of backgrounds, including:

• High school and university graduates

• Individuals exploring graduate programs or trade schools

• Professionals seeking mid-career changes

• Individuals transitioning careers due to injury or medical conditions

• We have worked with private clients as well as those referred by insurance agencies, legal firms, rehabilitation organizations, and academic institutions across Canada and Europe.

By the end of our sessions, our clients typically gain:

• Career Clarity and Direction: Confidence in moving forward with a thoroughly explored career path

• Personal Insight: A deeper understanding of how career choices align with one's personality, interests, and values

• Empowerment: The knowledge and tools to make informed career decisions or transitions

We strive to accommodate financial needs in the following ways:

• Healthcare Coverage: Our services are covered by most extended healthcare providers. We provide receipts for reimbursement.

• Flexible Intake: No upfront commitment is required for Career & Counselling Packages. The intake session fee is deducted if you proceed with a package.

• Added Value: While we do not offer a sliding scale, our package options provide added value compared to individual sessions. Packages are structured in hourly portions, so each session can be submitted to extended health for reimbursement where applicable.

Currently, all services are offered online. In-office sessions may be available in the near future. Services include:

• Virtual Counselling Sessions: Conducted via video calls.

• Online Testing: Assessments provided through a secure platform with Psychometrics Canada.
