Work and identity are deeply connected. Whether you’re navigating a challenge in your current role, considering a career change, or exploring future study and work options, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Sessions are available as once-off consultations or short-term counselling support. This is practical, psychologically informed support focused specifically on workplace and career-related challenges.

Career & Professional Development Assessments (For Working Adults)

Many professionals reach a point where their current role no longer fits - whether due to burnout, misalignment with values, lack of growth, or simply a sense that there's something more. Career assessment and counselling can help you step back, gain perspective, and understand what truly drives you. Through a combination of psychological assessment and individual consultation, we explore your personality, values, interests, work preferences and abilities where relevant, alongside your career history, experience and future aspirations.

I integrate these different sources of information to help you understand where you are now, what may be contributing to your current career questions, and which directions may offer a stronger fit.

The assessment follows a four-step process, designed to build a comprehensive understanding of where you are now and provide clear, practical direction for what comes next.

Career Guidance For School Learners

Evidence-based organizational assessment and analysis process

Choosing subjects, a field of study or a future career can feel overwhelming, particularly when a learner is unsure where their strengths lie or how their interests and abilities might translate into different career options.

My career guidance process combines psychological assessment with individualised interpretation to build a well-rounded understanding of the learner. The assessment explores aptitudes, personality, interests and values, helping to identify patterns of strength and potential career and study directions.

The process is designed to move beyond simply matching assessment results to occupations. I integrate the different findings to help the learner understand themselves, explore realistic options, and make more informed decisions about their future.

The process includes:

Comprehensive online assessment of values, abilities, interests, and personality

  • Approxinatey 3.5 -4 hours of assessments, completed flexibly within a 7-day period
  • Individual feedback sessions with learner and parent/s (online or in-person)
  • Written reports integrating the findings with subject and career option
  • Suitable for senior school learners considering tertiaty study and career choices

University & Early Career Guidance

Career questions do not necessarily end once a field of study has been chosen. University students and those beginning their careers may find themselves questioning their degree, specialisation, or future direction.

At this stage, the process is tailored to the individual. Existing study and work experience provide valuable information, and selected assessments may be used to explore personality, interests, values, work preferences and abilities where relevant.

The assessment approach and fee are determined according to the individual's needs.
