Hi, I’m Kim

Many people feel alone and confused in their life journey. I’m a Counsellor and Coach who can help you to get in touch with your dreams, hopes, and life possibilities. I work from a strengths-based and anti-oppressive framework and have experience working with individuals from diverse communities.

How to Get Started

New clients please contact Kim by e-mail at info@clearish.ca so that we can do a short consult.

My areas of focus are work and career issues for:

Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs)

HSPs have a trait inherited by 20% of the population and have unique vocational needs. HSPs may be very empathetic, conscientious, and highly attuned to their surroundings. According to Dr. Elaine Aron the originator of the trait, approximately 70% of HSPs are introverted, which can contribute to invisibility, overwhelm, and disillusionment in workplaces that are a poor fit. I can help you to understand the HSP trait, learn tools to manage it, and help you to identify and explore suitable careers or career shifts, and meaningful work environments.

Young Adults and Mid-Career Professionals

Confusion about career choices or dissatisfaction or disruption in your work or academic life can be unsettling and scary. I can guide you to consider your natural strengths, interests, values, personality, and skills. From there we look at possible careers or career shifts that you might consider, and then steps you can take to move forward in an informed, confident way.
