The doubt is rarely only technical. Family expectation, fear of disappointing, difficulty sustaining a choice without guarantees, and the confusion between personal worth and professional performance all show up.
In transitions, what usually blocks people is not missing information about the market — it is the cost of leaving behind an identity they built.
Where this is not therapy
Career guidance, coaching and career consulting are distinct services with their own aims and rules. Some psychologists offer vocational guidance, which has its own method within psychology. Ask the professional exactly what they are offering.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this the same as coaching?
