What is Career Counselling?
Career counselling is a structured and supportive process that helps individuals understand themselves, their skills, and their goals to make informed career decisions. It involves guidance, tools, and resources to assist with career exploration, job transitions, and personal development.
At Virtuous Circle Counselling, our career coaching goes beyond identifying job options. We focus on helping you:
- Clarify your values, interests, and strengths.
- Identify careers that align with your personal and professional goals.
- Develop action plans to move toward meaningful employment.
- Overcome career-related challenges like uncertainty, dissatisfaction, or lack of confidence.
Whether you’re just starting out, making a mid-career shift, or planning for retirement, our career counsellors are here to support your unique journey.

You may be wondering, “How do I know if I need career counselling?” If you’re feeling lost, unfulfilled, or overwhelmed in your professional life, career counselling can help. Common reasons to seek career counselling include:
