Setting Meaningful Counselling Goals

Episode Notes

Why are goals such an important part of counselling? In this episode, social worker Carmen Sadoway helps us understand how setting meaningful goals can give you direction and clarity, no matter what you’re going through—whether it’s depression, anxiety, grief, stress, or just feeling stuck.

We’ll chat about:

• Why goals can act like a compass, pointing you toward the changes you want to make. 
• How counsellors work with you to figure out what goals feel right for you.
• Real-life examples of short-term and long-term goals for different challenges.
• What to do along the way when things don’t go perfectly. 

If you're feeling stuck or unsure about where to begin, this episode offers guidance on creating goals that are realistic, empowering, and aligned with the life you want to live.
