Ashley Bargent Coaching & Counselling

Registered Social Worker

“You’re feeling stuck in your career and long for a job where you will shine. You can almost hear a voice inside you whispering that you deserve it. You can get through this with the right support. I’m a social worker in Toronto providing virtual counselling and coaching. Reach out anytime for a free consultation!”

About Me

Feeling stuck in your career, longing to shine, is a common experience. I guide individuals like you to clarify their professional path. Through virtual Counseling and coaching, we explore what's holding you back. We then build practical steps forward. My approach offers collaborative support for you to confidently pursue that inner whisper and a fulfilling career.

Approach

When that inner whisper starts to feel urgent, I guide you to translate it into small, practical moves and clearer choices. Sessions are held virtually in English, usually weekly and focused—short check-ins, skill practice for attention and stress, and values-based steps between meetings to test what fits. We use gentle experiments and values-based reflections to untangle anxiety, burnout or career fog while building momentum at your pace. This approach tends to suit adults ready to try steady, collaborative change.
