What you're booking

Is career counselling what you need?

Structured support for career decisions: choosing a stream or degree, changing fields, returning to work after a break, or working out whether the job is the problem. Often includes psychometric assessments. It sits next to therapy rather than inside it, though the two overlap when burnout or family pressure is really what's driving the question.

Before you book

What to check when choosing career counselling

The questions that separate a good fit from an expensive false start. Ask them before the first paid session, not after.

  1. 1

    Ask which assessments are used and why

    Reputable tools are validated and interpreted by someone trained. A generic online quiz with a colourful PDF report is not an assessment.

  2. 2

    Separate coaching from counselling

    If family pressure, anxiety or burnout is the real driver, you may need a therapist rather than a careers adviser. Good providers say so.

  3. 3

    Check the counsellor's actual industry knowledge

    Advice on the Indian job market ages fast. Ask when they last worked with someone in your field.
