Career & Vocational Counselling
Identify career directions. Move forward with clarity and confidence.
Who do we help?
Making choices about future career direction can be daunting for anyone, but especially for adolescents and adults experiencing learning, behavioural, social and/or emotional difficulties. As such we have decided to add career and vocational counselling to our existing range of services.
Comprehensive career and vocational counselling can help individuals identify future career directions and allow them to move forward with clarity and confidence. It will help them make decisions that are true to their unique characteristics.
Indigo’s career and vocational counselling is designed to assist:
- Learners and young adults, who are uncertain what to study
- Young adults and adults who are uncertain which career path or paths to explore and follow
- Young adults and adults who feel stuck in their studies or careers wanting to determine a way forward
- An individual who wishes to clarify his potential or aptitude profile to inform a job decision or career path

We use a combination of face-to-face and online assessment tools.
Assessments take 3-4 hours depending on specific needs.

Fees
Comprehensive career and study guidance assessment: $1600 including GST
This can be a standalone assessment or added to a standard cognitive and educational assessment. If career and study guidance is done in addition to a cognitive and educational assessment, the time, structure and cost of assessment will be negotiated with clients, based on their individual needs.
