FAQs - Career Counselling
How is career counselling different from seeing a recruitment consultant?
While recruitment consultants focus on matching you with available jobs, career counsellors help you understand yourself better—your values, strengths, interests, and goals. We provide deeper insights into what would truly satisfy you professionally, equipping you with self-awareness and decision-making skills that serve you throughout your career journey.
How many career counselling sessions will I need?
Most clients benefit from 3-6 sessions, though this varies based on individual circumstances. Some people gain clarity after just a couple of sessions, while others working through complex career transitions may benefit from ongoing support. We tailor our approach to your specific needs and timeline.
Can career counselling help if I'm experiencing workplace stress or burnout?
Absolutely. Career counselling addresses not just career direction but also how to manage workplace challenges. Our counsellors can help you develop strategies for setting boundaries, managing stress, improving work relationships, and determining whether your current environment can be improved or if a change might be beneficial.
I'm not unhappy with my job, but I feel stuck. Can career counselling still help?
Yes. Many people seek career counselling not because they dislike their work but because they've reached a plateau or want to maximise their potential. We can help you identify growth opportunities, develop leadership skills, or find ways to bring more meaning to your current role.
What can I expect in my first career counselling session?
Your first session typically involves discussing your career history, current situation, and goals. Your counsellor will listen attentively to understand your unique circumstances and may introduce assessments or exercises to help clarify your values, interests, and strengths. Together, you'll develop a plan for subsequent sessions.
