What is Career Counselling?
It's anything and everything related to careers!
Your career is more than just a job - it’s a key part of your identity and fulfillment. While work doesn’t define us entirely, it plays a major role in our lives. Career counselling helps you build a healthier relationship with your work identity, explore options, navigate transitions, and align your career with your passions and values.
Together, we’ll clarify where you are, where you want to go, and create strategies to overcome challenges. Through self-assessment, goal setting, and career exploration, you’ll gain the clarity, confidence, and tools to thrive. Everyone deserves to be happy at work - let’s get you there.

How Career Counselling Works
Understanding Your Career Story
We begin with your career journey - your personal biography. We'll explore how you got from point A to point B, identifying key milestones, roadblocks, and barriers along the way. Your career goals will serve as our roadmap, guiding the direction of future sessions.
Self-Discovery
Next, we’ll examine what you already know about yourself - your personality, values, career interests, and personal challenges that may be holding you back. This phase results in a personalized summary that boosts your confidence and informs your career decisions.
Career Exploration
"Do I stay, or do I go?" A career change isn’t always necessary. We’ll explore whether you need a new career path or if adjustments can make your current role more fulfilling. Sometimes, the right job is simply in the wrong environment. We’ll also consider external factors like stress, burnout, and workplace challenges that may be clouding your clarity.
Skills Development & Action Planning
We’ll identify any skill gaps and explore opportunities for growth. Together, we’ll break down barriers and create a step-by-step action plan. This includes assessing your job change readiness, refining your job search and resume strategy, and building a strong application package tailored to your career goals.
Moving Forward & Ongoing Support
The goal is for you to feel confident and capable of navigating your career independently. With the tools and strategies gained through career counselling, you’ll be equipped to manage future career decisions. If challenges arise, you’re always welcome to book a follow-up session for support or guidance.
