Do you

1. Feel uncertain about your occupational choice?

2. Experience “burnout” or “midlife crisis”?

3. Constantly hop for jobs without having a clear sense of direction?

The emotional entanglement of career issues

Unlike what people perceive, career issues are often personal and emotion loaded.  Many of the developmental crises are triggered by challenges and discontinuities that affect a person’s vocational role (e.g. mid-life career change, layoff, becoming a full time housewife, reentry into the workforce and retirement).  An individual’s ability to cope adequately with the dynamic and non-linear process of career development, is tied to one’s level of life satisfaction and mental health.  A chronic failure to respond to life changes almost inevitably leads to stress, anxiety, sadness, anger, fear and depression.

Vocational psychology and career counselling

Vocational psychology is a specialty within the profession of Counselling Psychology.  It is a holistic approach which looks at a person’s career development throughout different life stages. Through career counselling and assessment, we co-create space and opportunity for you to:

1. Gain a deeper self-awareness of your interest, ability, value and personality, through a series of career assessment tools and collaborative counselling process, so that you can make career choices that align with your authentic self.

2. Form a coherent sense of personal identity, life roles and life themes by integrating life and career stories, and thus giving and creating your own purpose or meaning in life.

3. Process emotional difficulties and career dilemma that arise out of your career development.

4. Adjust, adapt, make choices and decisions as you transit through different life stages that affect your career development e.g. being a full time housewife, illness, mid-life career change, retirement, etc.
