"I am a qualified psychologist, and I sought career advising when I was considering how I could do more good in my career. Career counselling was very helpful in comparing my options within my own field, as well as options where I would go into other jobs entirely."

— Arimo Kerkelä

"I was unemployed when I applied for career counselling and needed ideas and support to find a meaningful job. For me, meaningfulness means working towards a more sustainable future. Career Counselling gave me a good sounding board for my ideas and the support I needed to help me map out my career direction and the next steps towards a job. Career counselling is not binding, but it broadens your perspective and gives you good ideas to think about!"

— Vilja Jyrinki

"Being in the early stages of my career planning process, I found immense value in articulating my ideas about future career possibilities to someone outside my immediate social circle. Onni provided me with insightful ideas and excellent resources to explore, which have been instrumental in guiding my career planning since our session."

— William Vikatmaa
