PSYCHOMETRIC ASSESSMENTS

Psychometric assessments are developed by psychology professionals and are normed for the South African population (meaning that they are reliable assessments, backed by statistics regarding each measure’s suitability to the population and the purpose of each assessment). These assessments are regulated by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and have a variety of purposes- from guiding a training program for personal or team development in a corporate setting, to gaining self-awareness or clarity through career counselling. When used appropriately and ethically, these assessments can add tremendous value to an individual’s life and assist him/her in making an informed decision before changing careers; enrolling for a course, diploma or degree; or choosing his/her grade 10 subjects.

CAREER COUNSELLING ASSESSMENTS

I have extensive experience in the field of career counselling and in my view, the central goal of career counselling has shifted from choosing an occupation or charting a career path to championing a meaningful work life that matters to the person and to society. The complexities of 21st century life require new ways of helping people navigate the world of work and careers, which is why a contemporary perspective on career counselling is necessary. I recognise that this unstable world requires each individual to create a sense of stability within themselves in order to flourish and lead a fulfilling life.
