Specialised Counselling Techniques (Adults)

Specialised Counselling Techniques workshops are designed to enhance the skills of career practitioners working with both young people and adults, recognising that each group brings unique needs, experiences, and challenges to career development conversations. Through dedicated youth and adult-focused sessions, participants explore how established career development and counselling theories can be translated into practical strategies that support identity development, decision-making, and career planning across different life stages.

Specialised Counselling Techniques – Adults
Designed for practitioners supporting adults through career decisions, change and transition, this workshop develops advanced conversational and counselling techniques for exploring career identity, values, strengths, barriers and future possibilities. Participants practise purposeful questioning, reflective listening, narrative approaches and strategies for navigating uncertainty, redundancy, career change, return to work and competing life priorities. The focus is on facilitating conversations that move beyond simply identifying a new job towards helping clients develop clarity, agency and meaningful career direction.
