CAREER COUNSELLING SERVICE

Online Career Counselling & Coaching Service for Early-Mid Career Professionals in Perth and Across Australia

Burnt out professional feeling overwhelmed at work during career dissatisfaction.

You’re constantly feeling disappointed or frustrated at work because you feel undervalued or the reality of your job or career is a hollow shell of your expectations or dreams.

Or perhaps deep down you feel dissatisfied because you know you’ve outgrown what you do for work, and you keep asking the question “is this all there is?” - what you’re truly looking for is something that you actually care about, work with meaning and purpose.

But, even if you recognise these things, you don’t know what to do next…

You may fear giving up a steady, hard-earned income, or perhaps the pay is too good to leave and you’re anxious of the unknown.

Career counsellor supporting early to mid-career professionals through work burnout.

I understand your dissatisfaction, frustration or fear, I’ve been there, and I’m here to tell you what you’re feeling is normal and that a better reality is possible.

My approach to career counselling and coaching goes deeper than coping mechanisms and ‘feel good thoughts’. Together, we’ll explore the real reasons your work no longer fits. We’ll explore your values, motivation, identity, internal narratives around success, the emotional weight beneath burnout, anxiety or disillusionment and any other relevant aspects.

Instead of forcing yourself into another version of the same job, we’ll rebuild your relationship with work and develop clarity around purpose and meaning—so decisions come from alignment, not panic or pressure.

What makes Kintsugi stand out?

Reflective path symbolising clarity and direction in career counselling.

What makes Kintsugi Counselling & Coaching different is a holistic and balanced approach which combines professional expertise with unique and profound philosophical and spiritual perspectives, and lived experience navigating burnout, job misalignment and career change.

Drawing from psychotherapeutic modalities and grounded principles influenced by Taoist and Buddhist thought, we look beyond surface-level productivity advice and into what truly matters to you as a human being—not just as a cog in the machine.

I’ve walked this path myself: leaving a successful corporate engineering career, navigating financial fear, identity loss, social expectations and the uncertainty of redefining purpose.

I don’t sit above you giving advice - I walk alongside you with empathy, structure and real understanding, helping you create a life and career that feels meaningful, not just manageable.

My approach is insightful, practical and personalised, helping you find peace, gain clarity and make decisions that align with your authenticity.
