Q1. On your website, business cards, and other places it says \u201c<\/strong>More than career coaching, it\u2019s career psychology\u00ae<\/sup><\/em>\u2019\u00a0 What do you mean by that?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

A1.<\/strong>\u00a0The marketplace is full of people who use the title ‘Coach.’ Since there are no\u00a0universal standards or regulations, the level of proficiency and expertise<\/a> varies wildly. There are ‘credentials’ that can be bought online or earned over the span of a few days. It\u2019s very difficult to know who to trust, especially when the stakes are high in your career.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n\"Businessman<\/a><\/span>For instance, a significant proportion of the workforce is precariously employed. Due to these structural changes in the economy, many educated people are working below their potential. This often means that their earnings are lower than they should be. This chronic underemployment<\/a> and financial hardship can damage one\u2019s self-esteem, and contribute to other emotional problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To make matters worse, there are plenty of overwhelmed leaders and managers who aren\u2019t able to cope with this ‘perfect storm’ of high potential, underemployed employees or the other challenges<\/a> facing many workplaces. So, particularly for ambitious professionals, their career-related struggles often require the nuanced, skilled approach of a ‘career psychologist<\/a>.’ One, who understands how employees and leaders fit into the larger organizational context which goes far beyond the superficial or mechanical aspects of career development or coaching.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Q2.\u00a0 Do you think society is more aware and acclimatized to psychology? And, has that attracted additional clients?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A2.<\/strong> As a result of pop psychology seen on shows like Donahue, Oprah, and Dr. Phil, there\u2019s more awareness of the positive impacts that clinical psychology can have on a person\u2019s life. With that said, Industrial\/Organizational<\/a> psychology is not as well known as clinical psychology. Most people hear about what I do through word-of-mouth from clients, or online via search, social media, or my blog<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Clinical<\/a><\/span>Q3. It seems to me you deal with two types of clientele: one that has organizational issues that can affect the entire company, and individuals with challenges that have negatively affected their work. Is that accurate? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A3.<\/strong>\u00a0I certainly deal with a wide range of clients. Companies and other organizations often use\u00a0my HR services<\/a> for testing\/assessments to\u00a0hire, promote, or develop leadership in employees. I love this work because when the right people are in the correct roles, everybody benefits. I\u2019m also excited about my one-on-one career coaching<\/a>. These are clients who really want to make the most of their skills and experience but they haven\u2019t been able to fully succeed. The HR work that I do gives me unusual insights that make me more effective as a Career Coach. Likewise, when I\u2019m working one-on-one with individuals I am more mindful of their perspectives and concerns in broader business\/organizational situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q4. Let\u2019s focus on individual clients seeking your psychology services. Do they feel less stigma coming to you for stress management, and\/or anxiety and depression in regards to their work rather than a clinical psychologist? <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A4.<\/strong>\u00a0If a client approaches me to help them with anxiety and\/or depression, I always refer them to a clinical psychologist.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if their problems are mainly due to what\u2019s happening to them in the workplace (e.g., bullying<\/a> or sexual harassment<\/a>) or as a business owner, then there are usually things that I can help them with that a clinical psychologist can\u2019t address.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q5. Can you give me some examples?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A5.<\/strong>\u00a0A great example is dealing with harassment\/toxic behaviour<\/a> in the workplace. A clinical psychologist<\/a> is primarily able to help someone develop and implement strategies to recover from those emotionally damaging circumstances.\u00a0I help them navigate the organizational context, identify cues, and more importantly create a graceful exit and transition into a better work environment. In my experience, by the time someone reaches out to me, they\u2019ve already exhausted the viable (gentle) options. When those interventions haven\u2019t worked, it\u2019s time to make a clean break and get into a new role that is free from the abusive behaviour<\/span>\u00a0that is common in the dysfunctional workplace<\/a>. It\u2019s highly unlikely that the bad environment is going to correct itself. In a perfect world, after my client is safely situated in their new role, with their permission, I would love to clarify things for the organization so that other employees don\u2019t suffer the same fate.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Q6. So, what are the most common issues you encounter from your clients? <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A6.<\/strong>\u00a0I have seen countless clients who have told me that they feel like they are stuck in an intimidating schoolyard filled with bullies, even though it\u2019s an office environment. Workplace bullying<\/a> is a very real problem, and it seems to be occurring in a variety of professional workplaces. I also deal with clients who are unable to deal with their anxiety during large meetings or forums where they must speak publicly<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Clinical<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Other clients express dissatisfaction with their career path, and they are desperate for a change. There are also many professionals who feel they don\u2019t belong or are not good enough for the position they have landed. This common misconception has been coined the \u201cimposter syndrome<\/a>.\u201d I have met successful CEO\u2019s, lawyers, doctors, accountants, and teachers who experience this, despite having the required skills for their role. In general, all my clients have one objective in common: they want to reinvent\/ change their professional lives for the better.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

Q7. It sounds like those issues overlap with the same troubles that motivate people to seek help from a clinical psychologist. Have some of your clients been referred from a clinical psychologist or vice versa? <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A7.<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, clinical psychologists who know about my services have told their clients about me. Similarly, when I have clients who would benefit from the support of a clinical psychologist, I give\u00a0them the names and contact information of psychologists who they\u2019re likely to work well with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q8. Would you say that some clients might feel more hesitant about going to see a clinical psychologist, than an I\/O psychologist?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A8.<\/strong>\u00a0 I suspect that some are reluctant to see clinical psychologists because they are uncomfortable discussing very private and emotionally sensitive matters. Although our livelihoods and issues that threaten our career are also personal, the fact is that it\u2019s usually easier to talk about \u201cwork\u201d struggles than it is to reveal intimate feelings and experiences in other areas of our lives. I can assume that someone might be more comfortable telling a colleague that they are working with a career coach or I\/O psychologist than they\u2019ll be describing their sessions with a clinical psychologist. Time spent with me can be described more as professional strategy and less about mental health (unfortunately, there is still some unfair stigma around mental health<\/em>). In my opinion, however, that wouldn\u2019t be an informed conclusion, because most of my clients do have to work through emotional and psychological barriers in order to achieve their goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Career<\/a><\/p>\n

Q9. Do you think it\u2019s beneficial to break down these walls between I\/O and clinical psychology so that more people can seek advice, help, and guidance from both domains of expertise?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A9 <\/strong>Absolutely. But, I want to make it clear that what I do and what a clinical psychologist does are distinct and shouldn\u2019t be bundled as one and the same. However, I am hopeful that my clients can seek further psychological help if needed beyond what I can do for them in their professional spheres.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Check back here next week to read the flip-side of this blog.\u00a0<\/span>Dr. James Brazeau, C. Psych.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a>, will discuss Clinical Psychology<\/a> and how his approach supports his clients as they take steps toward securing a stable and fulfilling career.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
