Understanding Career Guidance and Planning
What Is Career Counselling?
Career counselling is a psychological service that helps individuals explore career options, clarify goals, and make informed decisions about education, training, or employment.
This process often involves examining personal interests, strengths, personality traits, and life circumstances in order to identify suitable career paths. For individuals whose career decisions relate to their ability to safely perform workplace responsibilities, an Occupational Fitness Evaluation may also be appropriate.

- Navigate career transitions or changes
- Improve decision-making related to career planning
- Address uncertainty or lack of direction
Career counselling is particularly helpful for individuals who feel uncertain about their next steps or are considering a change in their current career path.
