Career guidance, Guidance models, Existentialism, Anxiety, Career, career educationAbstract
This study investigates career guidance practice, focusing on the length of appointments, use of guidance models, and exploration of existential topics in one to-one settings. Data from 84 career guidance practitioners working across diverse institutions and sectors reveal significant variation in appointment lengths and approaches to guidance model usage. The findings show that existential topics – such as career-related anxiety, sense of purpose, and self-identity – are widespread in practice and are viewed as relevant by practitioners. The research offers considerations for future practice and policy.
