Individual
consultations and counselling

While many schools, universities and even other career counselling professionals rely solely on aptitude assessments to assist with career decisions, Michelle believes that gaining an idea of the “bigger picture” in terms of who the student is, is essential. For this reason, she has structured several assessment packages that aim to tailor the assessment process to the individual needs of the student.

All packages below include the following:
Pre-assessment consultation on the day of assessments.
Narrative career counselling process.
All assessments, as specified.
Comprehensive, written feedback report (available digitally on request).
A 45-minute feedback consultation with parents/guardians following assessments.

Junior Packages:
Grade 8 & 9

Grade 8 Early Bird Package

The consultation can also be completed in one day, with the entire session having a total duration of 6 hours (including a 1-hour break).
Cost: R2800

Michelle does group assessments of groups consisting of three or more individuals. The parents of the students (or the students themselves) are welcome to arrange their own groups in order to qualify for group rates.

All group packages include the following:
All assessments are to be completed as a group, with all group members being assessed simultaneously. Michelle will provide individual written feedback reports (available digitally on request). She will also schedule individual 45-minute feedback consultations sessions with parents/guardians for each group member.

Attention schools/teachers/school counsellors:
Michelle offers drastically reduced rates for groups of 20+ students.
Schools are also welcome to contact Michelle to arrange for class or grade assessments.

Please contact Michelle directly to enquire about group package rates for groups of 3 or more students.

For adults I offer my Adult Assessment Package, which uses psychometric assessments to help guide them either in the career field they’re already in or towards a new career field altogether.

For this I use a personality and values assessment. The assessments give a good idea of unique strengths and the characteristics related to job satisfaction for that specific person. They can help identify your managerial style and the best role you can play within an organization.

The assessments are completed during a 45 minute consultation and feedback is then done either in person in a separate 30 minute consultation or via an emailed report, at the client’s choosing. The cost is R1250.

Michelle’s school talks are free of charge. Terms and conditions apply.

Payment is due upon completion of assessments in order to secure your feedback consultation. No feedback consultations will take place until receipt of a proof of payment.
