While career coaching offered by a psychologist incorporates psychological support, it is primarily focused on the career-related aspects of an individual's life. The psychologist's goal is to empower clients to make informed career decisions, overcome career-related challenges, and achieve career satisfaction and success. If deeper psychological issues or mental health concerns arise during career coaching, the psychologist can refer clients to appropriate mental health professionals for specialized support.
