"Whatever we call reality, it is revealed to us only through an active construction in which we participate." Ilya Prigorine, Nobel Laureate

SocioDynamic Counselling is based on a philosophical approach to career counselling in which each individual is viewed as capable of constructing his/her own life based on the discovery of what has personal meaning. The approach draws on constructivist ideas, and it applies equally well to all age groups and cultural groups.

SocioDynamic Counselling focuses on counselling skills and techniques which emphasize the search for meaning as clients take responsibility for constructing their own work-life, the identification and validation of client strengths, values and assumptions, and the use of mapping, metaphor and mindfulness in assisting clients to tell their stories.
