Choose careers coaching to find out what you want to do. It’s effective, and you get results quickly.
This isn’t careers coaching with someone who has done a one day course or basing their support on personal experience, but effective careers coaching and careers counselling with an award winning coach, chartered psychologist and registered career guidance practitioner who has specialised in this area for over twenty years, and has worked effectively one to one with literally 1000+ clients.
Coaching can lead to increased self awareness, clarity of focus and a plan for achieving your career goals, based on both realism and personal objectives. As your coach I will work to support you to achieve your objectives.
Coaching is often supported with exercises for you to complete in between coaching sessions - looking at your skills, your career and life history, your values, developing ideas and options, being realistic and considering constraints.
Clients will often add on assessments – in particular the Highlands Ability Battery, Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) or the Strong Interest Inventory. Follow the assessments link to find out more.
Coaching sessions can focus on a particular issue or can be longer term helping you to understand more about who you are to be as effective as possible. It can include looking at aspects of your wider life too, our career is not something that operates in isolation from our life.
You may prefer to have discussions about your future career and life plans, perhaps to enable you to thoroughly consider a possible next step, or to discuss the impact of a choice. You will gain access to a wide range of exercises to help think more about who you are and what you want to do. You will be given individual attention and expert guidance to help you seek clarity in decision making. One to one coaching can provide an opportunity to work on a number of different areas:
- Think about who you are and what you want, in your work and personal life.
- Have some time to discuss how you feel about your current situation.
- Objective assistance in finalising a decision.
- Discuss what your next career move should be.
- Exploring ways of making yourself more marketable.
