Career coaching and counselling services offer individuals one-on-one help in managing their work and career issues.

The old work contract was with the organisation and underpinned the organisational career. The new career contract is more dynamic, performance based and short term. Success is no longer measured in terms of salary, security and status in an organisation that manages the careers of its people. Career success is about an individual's personal goals, competencies and ability to connect with any number of organisations for paid employment.

Career counselling can stimulate the individual to think about their career, learn ways to cope with difficult circumstances, plan for the future and remain professionally competitive.
