People come to career counselling looking for different types of support and report benefiting in different ways. Some of the following benefits may resonate with you:

​

Relief

Comfort, Support & Encouragement

​

To get going in the right direction, you might just need a place to collect your thoughts, talk to someone who understands, recognizes your strengths and encourages you to keep going.

Neutrality or Navigating Decisions with Others
