Zunaira Baig (she/her)
Registered Social Worker and Certified Career Development Practitioner
I am a Registered Social Worker and Certified Career Development Practitioner specializing in supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or anxious about their academic or career direction. Many of the clients I work with are navigating major transitions choosing a university or college program, adjusting to post-secondary expectations, planning their first career steps, or reevaluating their path after experiencing workplace burnout or dissatisfaction. My practice integrates career counselling with mental health support, offering a unique space for clients who are struggling to balance emotional well-being.
In our work, I integrate Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approaches that help you manage anxiety, challenge unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and take meaningful steps toward your goals. Together, we explore your strengths, values, interests, and lived experiences to help you navigate your path forward.
It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed, unsure, or pressured during moments of change. You don't have to navigate these decisions alone. Whether you are choosing a program, adjusting to university or college life, dealing with burnout at work, or feeling anxious about your next step, you deserve a space where your experiences are understood.
