My name is Christina

I’m a Career Restoration Counsellor who provides professionals with career guidance after they’ve experienced negative workplace events, so that they can find a career fulfilment again.

I have a background in recruitment, talent acquisition, case management and career counselling.

I’ve helped and led the implementation of multiple applicant tracking systems (ATS), provided in-house training on various recruitment tools such as LinkedIn and Hirevue, and utilised the opportunity to work in highly competitive, technical environments to become a headhunting expert.

I have coordinated many career workshops in technical industries, including IT and Science, and helped coordinate Melbourne’s first Future Scientist award; a program aimed at assisting science graduates to land their first career opportunity.

I’ve worked in Jobactive to help jobseekers and those on Centrelink find sustainable and meaningful employment through effective case management, career counselling and job search mentoring such as résumé writing and interview coaching.

I have case managed and provided guidance to people experiencing complex barriers to employment, including criminal records, long-term unemployment, homelessness, disabilities, workplace harassment, and lower socio-economic constraints.

I have mentored through the pandemic on highly effective job hunting techniques, and provided support to those who entered into frontline work during this time in order to maintain their role through the pandemic.

career counselling

I’m trained to embed trauma-informed and strengths-based techniques into my practice, and have worked extensively with people who have experienced negative workplace experiences.

I have provided career counselling to thousands professionals from all industries, including healthcare, education and childcare, higher education, public safety, food and goods, utilities, financial services and many more.

A qualified career practitioner with post graduate qualifications in psychology and career development

I am a professional member of Career Education Association of Victoria and Career Development Association of Australia

My main strength, however, is the empathy I bring to the session which stems from my own lived experience

workplace burnout

I’ve been where you are, and have experienced:

  • Burnout from the pressure of having an unrealistic workload,

  • Bullying from toxic micromanagers who provided unclear and ever-changing directions, and

  • Distress following a single negative event that left me feeling traumatised by the industry I was working in.

After all that, I took a break from work and then, found it hard to cultivate a desire to return.

I was feeling exhausted, negative, and completely detached from my work.

Fortunately, I found the support I needed to reignite my passion and restore my career to a place where I’m working in a more enjoyable and fulfilling environment.

And since becoming a Career Restoration Counsellor, I’ve made it my mission to provide career guidance to professionals following negative workplace experiences, so that I can help you restore your career fulfilment again too!

I know how overwhelming it can feel to try and figure things out by yourself

However, with the right counselling and support, you can build the confidence and clarity you need to restore your career and reignite the passion for work you once had.

So when you work with me you get the years of experience of….

  • Helping people like you overcome huge barriers to success

  • Talent acquisition, hiring and recruitment expertise

  • Countless number of career success stories about those who experienced negative workplace events and were left feeling distressed, detached, anxious and hurt, but went on to find career fulfilment again

  • An empathetic career counsellor, with a similar experience to you, who understands what you’re going through, how difficult it is to move on and how stressful it can be to discuss those negative events

I am completely invested in your career fulfilment.

I do this work because I know what it feels like to go through alone.

Having seen so many career transformations, it reinforces my belief that anyone can change their distressing circumstance or career detachment, and turn it into a career that gives them

confidence, engagement, control & safety.
