About me

My Career Plan

Welcome to My Career Plan. I am Raffaella and I help students turn uncertainty into opportunity.

I created My Career Plan because I understand how it feels to be overwhelmed by career choices, pulled in different directions and anxious about what the future holds. Whether your child is choosing subjects, exploring careers or feeling stuck, I believe every individual deserves a plan that's personal, practical and empowering.

With a background in psychology and being an independent practice psychometrist, I love understanding people and helping them to be the best version of themselves.

My mission is to empower others through informed decision-making, personalised planning and on-going support. I believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and strategic career development to unlock long-term success and satisfaction.

Whether your child needs career or subject choice guidance or better study skills, I am here to guide them step by step. 

Let's plan their future together.

What makes my career guidance approach unique?

  • Comprehensive and data-rich assessments - The testing process can be long, but I don't like to merely rely on one psychometric test. The more data I collect, the better the insights, resulting in a detailed 20+ page report to guide decision-making.

  • Personalised, human-centered recommendations - I take time to observe, listen and integrate multiple sources of information, including parent input and the student's preferences to provide meaningful, customised recommendations. This is not done by AI!

  • Parental insight and understanding - As a mother myself, I understand the concerns and hopes that parents have and approach each consultation with empathy.

  • Online psychometric assessments for convenience - I work with students across South Africa. While I am happy to meet in person, many families find that online sessions offer greater flexibility and help reduce anxiety for students by allowing them to complete assessments in a familiar environment. 

  • Experienced and registered professional - I registered as an independent practice psychometrist in 2007 and have worked with many individuals over the years. My practice is rooted in professional integrity, up-to-date methods and a commitment to my clients.

  • Ongoing guidance for long-term growth - Career development does not end with one decision. I offer continued support to help students adapt, grow and navigate future transitions with confidence. 

" Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."
