Career counselling –
The gateway to success
With all the potential career options these days, many students are lost as to which career path they should pursue. This decision is not made easier by the fact that choosing a career essentially begins in high school, with subject choices. It can often be difficult for young people to make the decision as to which subjects they should choose in order for them to open up paths to certain careers.

This decision is not made easier by the fact that choosing a career essentially begins in high school, with subject choices. It can often be difficult for young people to make the decision as to which subjects they should choose in order for them to open up paths to certain careers.
Career counselling involves a combination of psychometric assessments (often referred to as psychometric testing) and narrative techniques (talking during counselling). Although the psychometric assessments (or tests) provide valuable insights in a variety of areas, it is the narrative between the students and the counsellor that brings everything together for the students, helping them realise their dreams, aspirations, skills, abilities and strengths, and how these factors tie into their subject and career choices.
By combining narrative counselling with psychometric assessments (or psychometric testing), Michelle Duraan is able help students draw the maximum benefit from a career assessment. Michelle is a qualified and experienced career counsellor, having passed the Health Professions Council of South Africa’s psychology board examinations for Registered Counsellors in Independent Practice, setting her apart from many other “career guidance specialists” who claim to offer similar services.
