Career Counselling

Career Counselling is an area of counselling which helps bring clarity to those making an entrance and/or a mid-career decision.

A much needed service with a plethora of vocational options available, Career Counselling is a necessity in today’s fast-paced times. Whether you’re a student getting ready to embark on a career or a working professional dissatisfied with it, professional guidance is the need of the hour.

Career decisions can be confusing and, very often, stressful leading to mental and emotional upheavals. But unlike yesteryears, professional help is at hand today through counselling which focuses specifically on this area.

Also, as a part of the counselling, Psychometric Assessments are often administered by the counsellor to gauge your interests and inherent abilities – a critical aspect in making the right choice. The results of these tests prove beneficial to both – students about to choose a career and professionals desiring to make a mid-career switch.
