Career Guidance & Coaching

With over 20 years experience in guidance and counselling I understand the fear, anxiety and stress that we all feel when faced with making challenging life decisions regarding careers and education. Through my guidance counselling service I help both adolescents and their parents through the process of career choice.

​

How I Help

The service I offer can be tailored to individual needs ranging from a one-off session on a specific topic to a number of sessions covering all your guidance needs. Introductory 90 minute sessions are geared towards TY, 5th and 6th year students.  These normally consist of a 1 hour motivational interview; identifying interests, abilities, talents and skills, as well as an introduction to careers research.  This is then followed by a 30 minute review with the adolescent and their parent. Handouts and followup emails are included in the service.

​

Specific focus can be given to topics such as Subject Choice, Entry Requirements, Interest Inventory analysis, CAO Process & Applications, PLC/Further Education/Apprenticeships, Study Skills, Access Routes (HEAR, DARE),  as well as CV and Interview Preparation.

​

Adult Career Coaching

The combination of my Career Guidance and Psychotherapeutic skills prove very helpful to may adult clients looking to reevaluate their work life.
