What Is Career Counselling?
Career Counselling helps you navigate your career journey effectively. It’s a collaborative process where you work with a trained practitioner to identify your skills, interests & values, work out what is most important to you, explore suitable career options and create goals and actions. With my Career Counselling for Decisions and Transitions package, I facilitate a process whereby you develop personalised strategies for your career.
DURING THIS TIME I’ll HELP YOU to:
Reconnect with who you are by understanding:
Your strengths and values
Your natural interests - as explored in a debrief session about your Strong Interest Inventory Profile
Your experiences so far through discussion and possibly insights into the impacts they have had on you
Your specialist and transferable skills
Who you are when you are of most value to others and the world and who you are at your best
Reimagine how you want to live and work by exploring:
Your priorities in your career and life, gaining clarity on what you are really looking for; redefining you
Career options likely to best suit you and your preferences
Opportunities open to you in the Labour Market
Training/education options you can choose from
What a realistic, timely plan for your career looks like and how you can activate it

Common Career Transition Challenges
Career transitions may take a toll on you emotionally and mentally because they often come with difficult challenges. Please remember that these obstacles are a normal response to being in work that doesn’t nourish you - and are surmountable. With my professional guidance, you can turn them into opportunities for growth and success in your new career direction. Here are some challenges you might face during a career transition:
Financial Concerns
Balancing financial stability with career change is a common worry. If that’s the case, I can assist you in creating actionable strategies to manage this transition effectively.
Skills Gap
Recognising and addressing specific skill gaps is vital for a successful transition. I will work closely with you to develop a plan to acquire the skills needed to carve your newly chosen or redefined career path.
Age-Related Concerns
Worries about being too old or young for a career change are typical. That’s why my career counselling for adults is designed to discover your unique strengths and leverage them to highlight what you can bring to the table.
Your loved ones don't seem to be helping
Not everyone may understand your desire for change or be able to remain objective. I’ll offer the support you need and strategies for communicating your decisions to your family, friends and others.
Confidence Issues
Self-doubt is common during transitions. Let’s work on building your confidence and identifying your valuable transferable skills to ensure you can get to the next step smoothly.
Decision-Making Difficulties
With several options, deciding on a new direction can be overwhelming. My career transition assistance involves providing the tools to help you make informed decisions.
The Career Counselling for Decisions and Transitions Process
This is the transition process I take my clients through. Throughout this process, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and the necessary tools & skills for effective career planning.
The Long-Term Benefits of Career Counselling
Career counselling for professionals is an investment in your future, providing benefits that extend far beyond your current situation. So, whether you want to try out a new position or explore an entirely different career, investing in career counselling can yield these long-term benefits:
Increased Job Satisfaction
Greater Work-Life Balance
Enhanced Career Resilience
Ongoing Professional Growth
Improved Decision-Making Skills
Reduced Stress & Increased Earning Potential
Career Counselling vs. Career Coaching
Are you unsure whether to sign up for career counselling or career coaching? While both services aim to support your professional development, they have distinct focuses.
Career counsellors usually focus on self-discovery and career direction, help with career-related decision-making, and address personal issues that may impact career choices.
On the other hand, career coaching focuses on achieving specific goals, working together to identify strategies and me holding you accountable for your new skill development or performance improvement.
It’s better to choose career counselling if you’re unsure about your career direction or facing significant career decisions. Choose career coaching if you have career or leadership development goals in mind and need support to achieve them.
