Hi, I’m Kory Sherland, a professional, degree-qualified career counsellor specializing in helping individuals, including those with disabilities, navigate their career paths with clarity, confidence, and purpose. With a compassionate approach and strategic insight, I offer personalized career counselling and career development facilitation and practical workshops to guide you toward fulfilling career opportunities. I also work with companies and organizations to foster inclusive workplaces that embrace and empower people of all neurotypes, building environments where diversity drives innovation and collaboration.

If you resonate with what you have read here, I welcome your enquiry about working with me. In the spirit of, and deep commitment to inclusion, I am open to working with anyone who seeks career guidance.
In terms of my experience thus far, it is mainly with autistic and other neurodivergent individuals and others with disability who have resonated with my approach. My clients are of all ages, from teens to older adults.
I’m very good at working with people in any kind of life transition, from those finishing high school and figuring out the next steps, to mid-career changers, to parents getting back into the workforce after raising children.
For clients under 18, parents and/or guardians are welcome to be present during sessions. For adults, you’re always welcome to bring a support person to your session. People from all cultures and backgrounds are welcome as well as all members from the LGBTIQA+SB communities.
Diverse workplaces have been found to be more creative, innovative and productive. The more diverse in all ways an environment, the more we learn from each other, and the more we can come together and unite to support each other. The micro becomes macro. Once we have united in a workplace environment, we can then bring that energy and philosophy to all of the other parts of our lives and ultimately create a society of peace, fulfillment and inclusion for all.
This is about giving everyone a chance of success, according to their individual needs, challenges and barriers to inclusion. Equity is crucial to enabling all individuals to have the environment and tools they need to thrive at work and in life. Implementing individualised and specific workplace adjustments is paramount to the success of this inclusion piece.
This is the result of creating a culture where people feel psychologically safe to be honest about their needs and communicate who they are and what they can bring to their roles and the overall strategic vision for their place of work. True inclusion is about cultivating a sense of deep belonging. It goes far beyond awareness and acceptance of diversity in an environment.
