Solution Focused Therapeutic Additional Career and Job Support Across Durham and Sunderland

“Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to fish and you feed them for a lifetime.”

Is a lack of Mental Job Support keeping you from your next career move?

Does the thought of changing careers, applying for roles, or even just looking for work feel overwhelming? Maybe your stomach does somersaults at the thought of a 1-to-1 interview, let alone trying to stand out from the crowd at a busy job fair. For many, that “door-hovering” anxiety is the biggest barrier to success. My specialised Job Support provides the “Soft Reset” you need to move from overwhelm to a positive job focused mindset.

When you’ve been out of work for a while, or off with sickness or stress. getting a new job feels like a huge mountain to climb. You’ve lost your confidence, you’re anxious that you won’t know what to say. You just feel like you’re unemployable, no matter what anyone says. So why even bother to go? I get it I do! Because at last year’s DEC Summer job fair at Durham’s County Cricket Ground, I worked with a host of people who felt just like you do now.

My role in job support is to help turn those negative thoughts into positive actions for everyone, no matter the challenge! In just 20 minutes, they found the confidence they needed to approach potential employers, present the best version of themselves, and secure an interview. It sounds impossible to some, because your mind is in a place where you cannot make the impossible – Possible! But trust me, the brain is incredible and knowing how to make it work for you, not against you, is a real game changer. Especially when it comes to being positive and confident at the moment you’re in crisis.
