Career Counselling  is one of Carmen's true passions because she gets the chance to help others uncover their true talents, passions, values, beliefs and motivations. Through counselling and  career testing clients are able to make informed decisions on career and life choices. This type of counselling is beneficial for high school students, university students, adults looking to make a career change and those who are looking to get further education or training. 

Addiction Counselling is the process of increasing the client's awareness of how the addiction affects the different aspects of his or her life. This form of counselling also explores the client's emotions and thoughts, promotes overall wellness (social, physical, mental and spiritual), manages cravings and develops healthy coping methods. Clients who are struggling with addiction may also have other mental health concerns; these issues can be worked on concurrently. I also work with the family and friends who are affected by someone's addiction, so that they are able to continue or improve their own personal wellness.

Geriatric Counselling focuses on helping seniors and their families deal with the changes and concerns brought about by the aging process. This population often deals with very stressful life circumstances such as transitioning to retirement, mental illness, grief and loss, needing higher levels of care, physical health concerns, and isolation.
