Educational and Career Counseling

Job is not just a means to an income, and education is not only a path to find a job. These two subjects have become crucial issues in our lives. When we are a student or busy with a job, we spend a considerable part of our day studying or working. We define our identity with employment and education, their concepts get us involved, and we socialize in the atmosphere created by our career. These concepts make our life meaningful and valuable. We need to wake up every day being excited to get involved in the activities we love to do. As a result, we put in our best effort to study in a field that interests us and find a job that suits our desires. 

Today’s world puts a vast ocean of different opportunities in our way. Having many options let us choose a way that is convenient for different aspects of our life. On the other hand, the multiplicity of choices might result in confusion. Counselling sessions help us analyze everything needed to select a study field or a career path. Therefore, we feel more confident while stepping towards our future. 

To choose the best option, one should consider all of these issues:

• Personal interests
• individual needs
• personality characteristics
• Skills and abilities
• Salary expectation
• The social level of the career or the study field
• Entry requirements

During the counselling sessions you will investigate all of these different aspects, precisely and scientifically. After speaking with you, the counselor may take some credible tests to collect more information about your skills and characteristic as well. Then, considering your desires and other said factors, and you will be advised in a tailored way that is the best for you. 

• Immigration provides you with various new opportunities. Some of them can seem brilliant and exciting to you. Suppose you are not in the know about these options and also your character and abilities. In that case, you may fall into a path that is not convenient for you.
• Different cultures mean different -and sometimes, contradictory- standards and norms. Suppose the standards and norms differ from what you believe in. In that case, you will have trouble coping with your new workspace or study environment requirements.
• The stress caused by the changes and displacement, inarticulacy in the new language, low confidence while interacting with others due to feeling alienated or different, and such matters might result in a wrong evaluation of circumstances. Hence, the poor choices and academic or career failure.
• Entering an environment where everyone knows everyone can be stressful when you are the only new member. It would be best to cope with the members’ expectations, standards, and means of interaction. If not acted accordingly, the interaction issue will cause you trouble managing your relationships, collaboration, competence, and building a sense of closeness.

Satisfaction with the study field or career that we choose has a proportionate relationship with the joy we feel about our life. It is an erosive process to spend our time and energy every day on an activity that does not interest us, nor it feels like we can do it properly. All of us must choose a path suitable and desirable for ourselves and let us nurture and prosper. We must concentrate our efforts on the works that we know can help us meet our needs and reach where we want to be. Everything that is said shows the importance of a proper selection. Educational or career counseling is the one thing that helps us choose the best way, considering all the factors. We are with you in Daroon Mental Health Centre to help you lower the stress and mental pressures to reach the academic position or the career you want by acknowledging yourself and your needs, desires, and circumstances.
