“Each one of us is unique and precious. We all have talents and gifts. Our first task is to discover these gifts and we shall do this by finding and following that which gives us joy. As we do so, we shall find a reservoir of energy within us and begin to create our own niche in life, our part in creation, which will be found by discovering whatever comes naturally to us. The work we were born to do leads us to find previously untapped strength of will and inner power flowing from our own spirit.” Nick Williams
Are you unhappy in your job?
Do you long for 5pm each day and weekends?
Are you trying to discover a career that would be more fulfilling?
You can spend up to 25% of your life at work so it’s important that you feel happy. Being in the wrong job or having work related problems can have a big impact on your physical and emotional health, and well being.
And, of course, any work-related problems are not out with the context of what’s happening in the rest of your life; personal problems can affect your working life and work problems can affect your personal life.
Many people find it difficult to decide what work they want to do for a living. And often people spend more time and energy planning their annual holiday than planning their career.
Career and work-related counselling could you help with:
- Taking stock of and clarifying your skills, interests and values
- Problems in deciding on career alternatives
- Difficulties in implementing career decisions
- Trying to achieve a better work-life balance
- Problems brought about by organisational changes such as restructuring
- Job related stress
- Low self-esteem and confidence holding you back
- Life transitions such as redundancy and retirement
- Performance related issues
- Relationship problems with managers, peers and staff
If you would like to come for counselling for career or work-related issues, give me a call today on 07970 860 711.
