Career Counselling
Career counselling here is not an aptitude test and a printout. It is a structured conversation about what you want from work. What is really stopping you. And how much of the pressure you feel is yours, rather than someone else's plan for you.
what you get
- For students choosing, and for professionals reconsidering
- Burnout, imposter feelings, and deciding whether to leave
- Family expectations treated as part of the problem, not ignored
- A counsellor who will not simply tell you to follow your passion
who it can help
You do not need a diagnosis to start.
- Students choosing a stream, a course, or a first job
- Professionals weighing a switch, a break, or whether the burnout is the job or the field
- Anyone whose career decisions are being made in a room full of other people's expectations
what happens
How your sessions will work.
What you are actually choosing between
Options get written down honestly, including the ones you have not said aloud. Constraints — money, family, location, a visa — are treated as real.
The part that is fear
Separating a bad fit from imposter feelings, and a genuine risk from a catastrophic story about risk. The two need different responses.
A next step you will actually take
You leave with something concrete and small enough to do this month, not a five-year plan that dies in a week.
your therapy pathway
What the journey looks like.
Usually 3–6 sessions. This is the usual shape, not a contract. Your practitioner adjusts the pace to you, and you can pause or stop whenever you want.
Session 1
Where you are
What you studied, what you do now, and what isn't working. Money, family and location are treated as real limits, not brushed aside.
Sessions 2–3
What you want
You separate your own wishes from other people's plans for you, and a bad fit from imposter feelings.
Sessions 3–5
Options, honestly
You write down every option, including the ones you haven't said aloud, and weigh them. Testing is used only where it adds something.
Last session
One concrete step
You leave with something small enough to do this month, not a five-year plan.

common questions
Before you begin
Only where it genuinely adds something, and never as the whole answer. A test can narrow options; it cannot tell you what you value.
