Career counselling for professionals who want the clarity, confidence, and support to leave employment stress, workplace toxicity and burnout behind, and reignite their passion in a career that’s more aligned with their employment and lifestyle goals.

Is it time to leave your toxic workplace?

Take my free Workplace Health Check and find out:

Have you had to endure burnout, toxic work cultures, redundancy or other negative events at your job?

Maybe you loved your job before this time, but have found that those negative experiences have completely eroded your passion and you’re not sure where to go from here…

Maybe you were caught by surprise by an event, and are now cynical about the future growth of your career…

Or maybe you’re now on autopilot at work, afraid to invest your energy into your work outcomes in case something distressing happens again…

Workplace burnout

I want you to know you’re not alone.

A lot of people struggle to stay on their original career path after negative workplace experiences because they fear it will happen again.

But it doesn’t have to be this way…

There are ways to move past the distress of the experience, and not let it dictate your career direction - and I can show you how.

How can I help you fix your career after a negative workplace experience?

I want to…

Burnt out at work

Apply for jobs without the past baggage seeping through

So that I can articulate short tenures, redundancies, long career gaps, or anything that might not ‘sell’ me following a negative workplace experience, and ace interviews.

Toxic workplace culture

Make sense of my feelings so that I can get my career back on track

So that I can separate myself from the negative experience, and restore my sense of confidence about moving forward in my career.

Redundancy

Find a career that boosts my confidence and brings back my passion

So that I can turn this negative experience into an opportunity, find what my career purpose is, and leap into my dream career with clarity and confidence!

Hi, I’m Christina - Career Restoration Counsellor

My name is Christina …

… and I’m a qualified Career Counsellor with dual post-graduate qualifications in Careers Education and Development, and Psychology.

My mission is to provide career guidance to professionals following negative workplace experiences so that I can help them restore their career fulfilment again. This includes professionals in:

  • Healthcare

  • IT

  • Education and Child Care

  • Food and Goods

  • Public Safety

  • Transport

  • Utilities

  • Communication

  • Financial Services

My unique career counselling approach to negative workplace experiences is through narrative therapy.

I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to unravel your thoughts around career. Through this, I recommend appropriate strengths-based and trauma-informed inventions to gently dismantle your negative emotions.

In addition, my background in recruitment and employment services can help you take a leap into your new career, and I can guide you on:

  • How to write stand out résumés that frame the key skills needed in your new career (regardless of your background),

  • How to craft easy cover letter that always get noticed and past recruitment technology,

  • How to confidently get through job interviews and land an offer sooner.

There is also no pressure to change your job…

…because my career counselling aims to illuminate an area that needs to change so that you can leave your negative experiences behind.

This doesn’t always mean you should change career industries, but throughout our sessions, you’ll likely decide that you need to change one of the following:

  1. Your employer

  2. Your industry

  3. Your perspective

The direction is your choice, and I will provide guidance on how to make that change.

Regardless of the choice, the sessions will help you discover:

  • You can set boundaries, and work with self assurance every day

  • You can reengage in your work emotionally, and feel pride in your results again

  • You will feel in-control of your career trajectory and your career growth again

  • You can utilise your natural strengths and discover it’s possible to work in a field that aligns with your values, interests and personality style.

Career success
