What Is Career Counselling?

Career counselling offers individuals guidance and support to help them better navigate their career paths. Whether you’re looking to find a career path, change fields, or advance in your current profession, career counsellors can help you achieve your career goals. By assessing and identifying their client’s strengths, skills, values, interests and personality, career counsellors are able to guide and provide expert career advice to their clients. 

 

Overall, career counselling aims to empower individuals so they can make confident career decisions that lead to increased job satisfaction.

What Can Career Counselling Help You With?

At Le PsychLoft, we can help provide you with support in numerous situations, such as: 

​

Career Guidance 

If you’re interested in exploring different job fields, or positions, career counselling can help you navigate and explore career paths or job transitions. You can also get personalized advice on the types of skills, education or certifications you require to excel in your new career path. 

​

Career Assessment

A career assessment involves understanding your strengths, interests, and values. The goal is to use this information to help guide you toward a career path that best aligns with you. 

 

There are many personality and aptitude tests that can help identify your work style, interests and personality, which can help open up potential career paths. 

​

Job Hunting

Job hunting can be nerve-wracking, from applying for different jobs to interviewing and facing rejection. There’s much to consider and it’s easy to feel unsure at times. Career counselling can help you navigate these challenges, and provide guidance on: 

• Resume and cover letters

• Interview tips

​

Career Burnout

Prolonged stress and frustration at work can lead to physical, emotional and mental exhaustion (also known as career burnout). With career counselling, you can learn to better manage job-related anxiety and develop effective time management skills to help reduce stress.
