What is the difference between Vocational Counselling and Clinical Counselling?
Vocational counselling focuses on your work and career helping you explore job options, return to work after injury or illness, or find a career that fits your skills, values, and health needs. It looks at how your personal circumstances connect with your ability to work and thrive professionally.
Clinical counselling focuses on your mental and emotional well-being helping you manage things like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. It supports your overall mental health and personal growth.
Both types of counselling can overlap, especially when work, health, and life stress are connected. Sometimes, combining both can help you build balance in all areas of your life.
What should I expect in Vocational Counselling?
In vocational counselling, you can expect to talk about your work history, strengths, and challenges to help figure out what kind of job or career feels like the right fit. Together, we’ll look at your goals, explore options, and make a plan that matches your skills, interests, and health needs.
You’ll get support with things like job searching, resumes, interviews, and building confidence to return to work or make a career change all at a pace that works for you.
