Resolving difficulties at work

Many people will seek career help from a counsellor because they feel personal issues or problems at work are affecting their job satisfaction and performance. These may be may include:

• performance anxiety
• redundancies
• anger-management problems
• stress
• bullying
• strained relationships with colleagues
• tendency to worry a lot
• depression
• low self-esteem
• low self-confidence.
  

These issues often make it difficult for people to feel comfortable in their job and can affect their ability to complete and manage work responsibilities such as giving presentations or taking part in team meetings. A career counsellor will be aware that these issues may be related to the job itself, and so their approach will be focused on teaching their client appropriate tools and strategies which can be used in the workplace to help them manage these more effectively.
