Support for Career Development
Developing within a career can involve building skills, seeking feedback or negotiating a change of responsibilities. It does not always mean changing profession or employer.

Working towards a different role
If you want more responsibility but find it hard to ask for feedback, a session could explore what holds you back and help you prepare that conversation. A mentor or careers adviser may be better placed to identify training or industry opportunities.
What sessions might explore
Depending on your situation, sessions may explore work identity, goals, confidence and navigating opportunities.
Choosing support
Ask whether the practitioner provides coaching, counselling or careers advice and what each service includes. Consider career services or workplace mentoring alongside emotional support.

Frequently asked questions
What can career development sessions cover?
It depends on your goals. Sessions may explore work identity, goals, confidence and navigating opportunities; a practitioner should explain their approach and agree priorities with you.
When should I seek help with career development?
Consider support when you want to prepare for progression, feedback or different responsibilities within your current field.
Can career development sessions take place online?
Online sessions can help with confidence, planning and career conversations. For role-specific training or vacancy information, a careers adviser may be more useful.
Can a coach or counsellor guarantee progression?
No. They can help you clarify goals and prepare for conversations, but hiring, progression and pay decisions sit elsewhere. Ask a careers adviser for specialist occupational guidance.
What should I check before choosing a practitioner?
Ask whether the practitioner provides coaching, counselling or careers advice and what each service includes.
When might another service be more appropriate?
Consider career services or workplace mentoring alongside emotional support. You can ask a therapist about referrals and support that may be more appropriate.
What should I do if I need urgent help?
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999. In England, contact NHS 111 and select the mental health option for urgent mental health help. Veyro is not an emergency service.
