My job was stressing me out due to a lack of work-life balance, but by working with a career coach, I was able to find a more suitable role in an organization that aligned with my values in the environmental sector. Due in part to Thomas’ help, I was able to negotiate a higher salary than was initially offered, and I’m now looking forward to an exciting new job in the next season of my life.

I reached out to Thomas during some major decisions with regards to my career. When I contacted him he was very approachable and willing to listen. We set up an appointment to meet to talk further in person about managing my career. When we meet Thomas was very professional and relaxed this made me feel comfortable to talk. Thomas reviewed my options and provided some very practical suggestions and techniques for my interview as well as coming up with questions to ask for my benefit during the interview. I used these techniques and suggestions and was successful at obtaining a position at my new place of work. Thanks Thomas for your expertise and suggestions. Highly recommend!

Back in 2018, I met with Thomas to think about my future.Taking a look at my personality, strengths, and dreams, he helped me to understand why I’d do well with a flexible schedule, 1-on-1 work with people, all in a way that worked with my intellectual interests. He also helped me spruce up my resume and gave me a template for how to build and maintain it in the future. I also used his tips for interviews — both job interviews and informational interviews, where I sought out professionals to understand their work life and process.All of that led to my decision to become a psychotherapist, which I’m nearly qualified for. I've been more and more certain that this is the work for me.My sessions with Thomas were super helpful — I definitely recommend his services!

Working with Thomas has been a positive educational experience for me. I have learned skills and behaviours that will aid me in finding work that can be transferred to other areas in my life both personal and professional. Thomas is a well spoken and very educated man in his field. He is certainly the type of person that has the patience to help and even more he is willing and able to help in the best of his abilities. Awesome work and would definitely keep in touch. Cheers!

Thomas has a great understanding and in depth experience of each stage of the career searching process. He not only gives you the tools to explore the job market, but also to learn things about yourself that you may not have known before. Above all he gives you the self confidence you need to make informed decisions and take action towards goals that you want.

Coming to the end of my university career, it was incredibly helpful meeting with Thomas to look at my work goals, values, skills, and interests entering the job market. Meeting with Thomas helped me to find current opportunities that I hadn't previously considered and gave me the tools to continue analyzing my career goals in the future. I would highly recommend Thomas for anyone looking to establish career goals.

With Thomas’ coaching I was able to transcend the confusion and lack of clarity I had around my work life’s and career. Not only did he help me face some difficult realities but he helped me to see my value and to honour my strengths and abilities. With the help of the many resources he provided I feel my resume now reflects the best of me and I am confident about my ability to handle interviews and the job search process. Thanks Thomas!”
