Abstract:
This case study applied a narrative approach to develop the sense of self as a career resource for a young male engineer
in his first working year. The participant client attended eight sessions lasting 60 to 90 minutes each over a period of five
months. The case sessional data were thematically analysed. Following the intervention, the participant displayed career
strengths of willingness to deal with challenges, enhanced adaptability strategies and volition to elect preferred work
setting. He also displayed an enhanced future orientation. Narrative counselling appeared to support career adaptability
development.
