Consultations

One to One Consultations

Consultations are conducted in person at 19 Belvedere Rd, Claremont at the Openways Surgery premises. 

Virtual consultations are also offered on request via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.

FutureSketch consultations 

These are for matrics, grade 11s or post matrics who would like to explore their options after leaving school. Clients will fill in an online questionnaire which is used to prepare for a 50-minute consultation. Parents or guardians are invited in at the end for 15 – 20 minutes, to ask questions and to conclude the discussion. After the consultation, I compile a document outlining possibilities discussed and detailed course information with links to more information which is emailed to the client and parents.

• R 1 290 (includes preparation beforehand, 50-minute consultation with client, and 20-minute discussion with parents or guardians as well as time spent on feedback information) 

Subject choice for grade 10

These are for grade 9s who are choosing subjects for grade 10. Grade 9s fill in a questionnaire to explore their interests and experience of subjects and I request to see their latest grade 9 and end of grade 8 reports, as well as any subject choice parameters that the school may have before the consultation. Extensive career knowledge is not necessary for subject choice, as long as one is aware of the gateway subjects and what study options they make possible. Grade 9s are encouraged to choose subjects with this in mind, and I also help them to do further research into the subjects they are considering. Parents are invited in for the last 20 minutes of the consultation. 

• R700 for a 30-minute consultation with the grade 9, and 15-minute discussion with parents and grade 9 together. (The fee includes preparation beforehand and compilation of feedback afterwards)

Crossroad consultations 

This is for any young adult who has a specific and/or urgent decision to make and feel they are at a crossroad in their life. These are typical when matric results come out, and young adults are not accepted for what they have applied for or have had multiple offers and do not know what to do. 

A crossroads consultation is also appropriate for students who are failing or not enjoying the course they are in and do not know what to do.

• R 645 for 50-minute consultation (An additional fee of R300 will be charged should information be sought that is additional to the usual feedback sent)

Interview preparation
