Jen Davies brings over two decades of expertise in counselling and career development to her role as a Career-Focused Counsellor with Careers by Design. A Canadian Certified Counsellor since 2006 and a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, she works at the intersection where career questions and wellbeing meet — because in real life, they're rarely separate.
Jen specializes in career-related anxiety, burnout, and workplace stress, and in guiding professionals through meaningful transitions: the pivot you've been circling for years, the role that no longer fits, the return to work after a difficult chapter. As a counsellor with Telus Health, she supported individuals navigating both professional and personal change, and as a former university career advisor she has worked with thousands of students and alumni across countless roles, organizations, and industry sectors.
Her academic path runs deep: degrees from Queen's University (Psychology) and McGill University (Counselling Psychology), and a Doctorate in Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Toronto, completed in 2019. She has taught as an Assistant Professor at Algoma University and served the profession as Past President of the Career Counsellors Chapter of the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association.
What does all of that mean for you? A counsellor with the clinical training to understand what's really going on, and the career fluency to do something about it — helping you identify your strengths, reimagine your path, and transition confidently into new opportunities.
