ADULT Guidance Service

The Northside Partnership offers an ADULT Guidance Counselling service to people within its catchment area, through our qualified ADULT Guidance Counsellor. The aim of this service is to provide independent guidance, which facilitates people continuing in or returning to education.

The ADULT Guidance Counsellor provides a guidance service to clients, who are in the main post-leaving certificate students referred from other agencies, community groups and by self-referral. Through this service, clients get comprehensive information regarding all education/training options available to them. Needs analysis, interest inventories and aptitude testing is also provided as necessary.

This guidance can be vital for clients who wish to explore the options and choices open to them. This then facilitates them in choosing the right subject options, courses of study or career paths.
