This article describes the influence of counselling for career construction on an artistic young girl with career undecidedness. Purposeful sampling was used to select a 14-year-old participant from young children who had sought counselling for career construction in a private practice context. An explanatory, instrumental, single case, intervention study design was implemented and a mixed-methods paradigm adopted as the research framework. Counselling for career construction strategies were employed to gather and analyse the data. The results emphasized the importance of promoting career development in the early years of a person’s life. Future research should investigate the viability of the approach demonstrated in the current study in diverse group contexts and as well as the longer-term value of the approach and investigate ways in which career development can be promoted as a facet of early child development.https://www.tandfonline.com/loi/rady20hj2022Educational Psycholog
