Career management

Change is part and parcel of life in any orgasiaatinn. At times, it is accompanied by pressures on careers that can impair performance unless they are controlled. Career coaching and counselling makes chenge possible by lubricating the paths. Sometimes, there are challenges of career change, even of redundancy. Other times, you have problems of work dysfunctions, when work isn't working out. |

The elusive problem
We share the view that psychological problems experienced by many people attempting to understand their career concerns, and to act on them, have too often been overshadowed or even perhaps somewhat neglected. Too often, the individuals involved tend to take a very short-term, if not brusque approach: 'I just aant the facts. Give me the inforamtion!', rather than weigh up what kind of information is most appropriate to their needs.
To serve these people effectively, we need to offer a personalised process of assessment is required. They need a rounded understanding of the issues they experience, with senstivity to their emotional needs as well as task-centred issues inherent in any process of change.
