Career and life design counselling for working professionals helps individuals assess their current situation, explore alternative career paths, develop new skills, navigate the job market, and manage the emotional and practical challenges associated with changing careers. It provides guidance and support throughout the transition process, empowering individuals to find greater fulfilment and satisfaction in their personal and professional lives. The process we follow are:
- Self-Reflection and Exploration: Reflecting on his/her current situation, feelings, and concerns, exploring his/her values, interests, and aspirations, examining the areas of his/ her life that are causing dissatisfaction and examine how his/ her career transition plan aligns with his/her broader life goals.
- Identifying the Source of Crisis: Identifying the underlying factors contributing to his/ her career and/or life dissatisfaction. This might involve examining the career satisfaction, relationships, personal growth, and overall life balance to gain a comprehensive understanding of the areas that need attention.
