Post-School Pathways
"Whether you plan to finish Year 12, find a study alternative, or start earning money, there's a path that actually suits you."
This session is for students and young people at any point in years 9–12; whether you've just finished, are thinking about leaving early, didn't complete VCE, sat the ATAR, or skipped it entirely. The pressure to have it all figured out is real, and most people don't. That's a completely normal place to start.
There's no single pathway into a meaningful future, and this session doesn't assume one. We'll look at where you actually are, what your real options are (which are almost always broader than you've been told), and what a plan that genuinely fits you could look like.
This session can cover: ATAR-based pathways, TAFE and vocational options, apprenticeships, gap year planning, early entry and alternative entry, and studying overseas.
Parent Sessions
"You want to help, not hover. Let's make sure you're the support they'll thank you for later."
Your kid is at a turning point and you want to help; but every conversation either ends in tension or quietly goes nowhere. You're not failing. You're navigating something difficult without much of a map.
This session is for you, not them. We'll talk about what your young person is actually going through (even if they're not telling you), what kind of support helps versus what adds pressure, and how to have the conversations that need to happen.
Optional: book a parent session first, then a follow-up session with your young person; together or separately. Many families find this sequence makes the difference.
Gap Year Planning
"A gap year isn't just for school leavers. At any point in life, taking time to travel, volunteer, or pursue something outside the norm can be one of the most clarifying things you do."
A gap year done intentionally can open doors that the traditional pathway doesn't. Travel, volunteering, working abroad, internships, skill-building; or some combination. And it's genuinely not just for school leavers. People take time out at 25, 35, 45, and beyond; to find themselves, to recover, to pursue something they've always wanted to do, or simply to break a pattern that isn't working anymore. The key is knowing what you're hoping to get out of it, and planning it in a way that actually delivers that.
This session helps you design a gap year that actually serves you; matching your Journey Type, your financial situation, your readiness, and what you're hoping comes next. I bring real travel planning experience alongside careers expertise, so the conversation covers both the practicalities of going and the strategy of what it leads to.
We'll cover: structured vs unstructured options, funded and volunteer programs, workforce engagement, internships, working holiday visas, and how to make the experience count on your CV.
Career Change Sessions
"You're not starting over. You're starting smarter. Bring everything you've built."
Something isn't working anymore. Maybe you've known for a while; maybe it hit you all at once. Either way, you're at the edge of something you can't quite name yet, and the gap between 'I should change something' and 'I know what to do' feels enormous.
This session draws on the Chaos Theory of Careers (Pryor & Bright, 2011): your experience, your network, your skills; none of it is wasted. It all gets reframed and redirected. You don't need to arrive with an answer. You just need to arrive.
We'll map realistic pathways from where you are to where you want to be, with honest timelines and real first steps.
How working together actually works
Every working relationship starts the same way: a free 20-minute conversation. No money changes hands, no session is booked, and no commitment is made until we've both decided it's a good fit.
20 minutes, no cost, no commitment. We talk about where you're at, what you're hoping for, and whether working together makes sense.
If it feels right on both sides, I'll send through a short booking form. If it's not the right fit, I'll point you somewhere useful - and that's completely okay too.
Once you've returned the booking form, I'll send an invoice by email. Payment is by bank transfer (EFT), due within 7 days.
Payment received, session locked in. You'll get a calendar invite and any pre-session notes from me before we meet.
Why the discovery call first? Career counselling works best when the relationship is right. The 20-minute call gives us both a chance to check that. If I genuinely think I'm not the right person to help you - whether that's scope, approach, or anything else - I'll tell you honestly and make sure you leave with something useful regardless. No session will ever be booked or invoiced without that conversation happening first.

20 minutes. No agenda, no commitment. We'll have a real conversation about where you're at, and I'll give you an honest sense of what might actually be useful, whether that's a session, a conversation, or something else entirely. And if we're not the right fit, I'll tell you that too; there's no pressure either way.
