Preparation
Before you take a complimentary half-hour telephone session with a career counsellor, we ask you to complete a short form. This gives your career counsellor a chance to understand your background and aims before you talk during the half-hour session.

The session
The session lets you begin to explore your personal circumstances and discuss your options. From this short session, you'll get a flavour of how career counselling works. However, the session on its own is not going to bring you immediate results; you'll need to commit further time for more detailed discussions and research to get results.

'Counselling'
Although the word 'counselling' is included, it does not mean that careers counselling is some kind of therapy. There are strictly no couches in this kind of counselling; it is a very focused short-term process aimed at helping you move forward with your career and to make the specific changes that you've identified during your sessions. A career counsellor will act as an objective expert, but will not find jobs or tell you what to do.
