Career decisions can feel overwhelming, whether you are choosing a field of study, thinking about changing jobs, or questioning the direction of your entire career. You may feel pressure to have it all figured out, even when you are not sure where to begin. Career counselling offers a space to pause, reflect, and make decisions that align with who you are, not just what others expect from you. At Franck Origins Psychologists, we provide thoughtful, structured support to help you explore your options, clarify your values, and navigate the uncertainty that often comes with career-related questions.
What is career counselling?
Career counselling is not about choosing the “right” job. It is about helping you make informed, self-aware decisions about your education, career path, or work environment. Whether you are at the beginning of your career or in the middle of a transition, career counselling can help you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with clarity. Sessions may include structured assessments, reflective conversations, and practical planning, all designed to meet you where you are in your journey.
We also offer psychometric testing where appropriate to help identify strengths, interests, and career paths that align with your goals. These tests vary and may include career assessments, scholastic assessments, screening and diagnostics, or psycho-legal assessments. Not all our psychologists provide this service, so we will need to confirm the specific test you require and match you with a psychologist who has the appropriate training, experience, and availability. Please contact the practice with your request, and Mischâ will assist you in finding the right psychologist to help.
Who can benefit from career counselling?
You may benefit from career counselling if:
- You are a high school learner unsure about subject or degree choices
- You are a student questioning your current field of study
- You are considering a career change, but are not sure where to start
- You feel unfulfilled in your current job or studies
- You are returning to the workforce after time away
- You feel burnt out and unsure what work-life balance looks like for you
- You want to explore your values, personality, and interests concerning work
You do not need to be in an emergency to seek career support. Sometimes, asking the right questions can shift your entire perspective.
What does a career counselling session involve?
Career counselling is a guided conversation. It is a space to think out loud, explore possibilities, and reflect on how your identity intersects with your professional life. Depending on your needs, sessions may include:
- Career interest assessments or personality inventories
- Values clarification exercises
- Goal setting and action planning
- Exploration of work environments that suit your style
- Discussion of work-related stress, burnout, or self-doubt
- Support with decision-making and transitions
You will not be told what to do. Instead, you will be supported in finding a way forward that feels grounded and achievable.
Why is career support important?
Your work is a significant part of your life, but it does not have to define your entire identity. Still, whether your career feels misaligned, it can affect your self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being. Career counselling helps you reconnect with your purpose. It reminds you that your worth is not tied to a job title. It provides you with tools to manage change, uncertainty, and personal expectations, allowing you to build a professional life that feels meaningful to you.
