Career Counselling Interventions for Women Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence

Women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) often face many challenges that can significantly impact their career development. However, career counsellors may not be fully prepared to support the unique needs of these women. This article will explore major issues faced by women survivors of IPV in their career development and propose counselling interventions that draw from Krumboltz’ social learning theory and Social Cognitive Career Theory. A counselling framework that is informed by these factors can help career counsellors empower women survivors of IPV in moving forward and rebuilding their lives.
