Chant, Anne – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2020

The insights it allowed me into the relationship between who we are and what we do led me to conclude that such methods can also illuminate these connections for clients of career counselling. In this paper I argue that such…

Miriam Reynoldson – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2025
