Our Assumptions
Your life has a purpose.
At every moment there is something you are meant to be doing to further your life’s purpose.
Motivation, energy, enthusiasm, satisfaction and the sense of
your life having
meaning all derive from doing what you are meant
to be doing.
To
find out what you are meant to be doing at any particular moment, you need to
pay attention to
(1) passion - what you want from life; and
(2) calling - what life wants from you.
If you are confused about what you are meant to be doing, it is because
(1) your ability to feel your passion is impaired;
(2) you are unaware that life wants something from you; and/or
(3) you haven't learned how to
read the circumstances of your life
for what it is asking of you.
Our Mission
• to use our skills
as psychotherapists to help you recover your ability
to feel your passion so that you know what you
want from the inside,
without having to rely on a test.
• to use our skills as coaches
(1) to help you read the circumstances
of your life for what life is
asking of
you; and
(2) to work out the practical steps
required to answer life's calling
• to bring coaching and psychotherapy together within a perspective that
values
the care of the soul and a relationship to
something larger than yourself.
The Change You Need May or May not be Career Related
Connecting with your passion and aligning that passion with your calling comes out of a process of personal growth and development that goes beyond issues of work and career.
Often
what the process reveals is that the dissatisfaction that brings you into
counselling
is not rooted in your work and that a career change is not going to solve the
problem.
Even when work is the problem, we regard career change as a remedy to be resorted to only after other options have been explored. We start by looking for ways for you to derive greater satisfaction from your existing work.
And sometimes a career change is exactly what is needed.
