Impact Career Counselling

by Alison Greenway

My name is Alison and I have worked in many roles over the years and with people from a diverse range of backgrounds. I have worked in HRM, recruitment, career counselling, teaching Job Search and other work related skills, mentoring clients in life skills and supporting them as they work through the challenges of building selfconfidence to manage life’s ups and downs. I enjoy supporting clients as they grow in self-awareness, and improve their quality of life.

I commenced my business Impact Career Counselling & Personal Development 7 years ago and I am also a registered ndis provider I deliver Capacity Building - Counsellor (Therapeutic Supports) & Psychosocial Recovery coaching to ndis participants. I provide one-on-one services and work with participants to help them succeed in areas such as:

• Mapping strengths and career interests

• Identifying areas of improvement and growth

• Discovering and matching skills to career options

• Guide and support to write a resume or application letter

• Help participants to prepare for interviews and first day at work

• I walk you through building life skills, and developing confidence

• We work together to improve relationships & develop social supports

• Coaching in Interpreting job adverts, Selection Criteria, Job Descriptions and awareness of reasonable adjustments in the workplace

This is just an idea of areas that I can help you to develop, and there are many more that we can discuss if you would like to give me a call on 0405 179 479.

My work style is relaxed and I work at your pace, this may be at your home or in a lovely quiet park. Together we design an Individual Plan to address all the areas that you would like to work on to achieve your goals.

A career counsellor is a professional who helps people make decisions about their career paths and work lives. They provide guidance and assistance with career exploration, job searching, resumes, interviewing, and more.

They are knowledgeable in fields such as education, psychology, and human resources, and can provide valuable insight into the job market, career options, and the skills and qualifications needed for particular jobs. Career counsellors also help individuals identify their strengths, interests, and goals, and develop strategies and plans to reach these goals.

Use open-ended questions to identify a person’s strengths, interests, and goals. Ask questions that focus on specific areas, such as their career goals, the activities they find most enjoyable, the types of tasks they excel at, and their long-term aspirations.

Observe the person in different situations and settings. Pay attention to their body language, the activities they choose, and the topics they focus on. This will provide clues to their interests and strengths.

Speak to people who know the person well, such as family members, friends, and colleagues and get feedback.
