Counselling & Development
Psytech Assessment Training for Counselling & Development Contexts
A practical training on the effective use of Psytech measures to support career guidance, personal development and workplace growth — covering the VMI and OIP in depth.
Using Psytech Measures in Counselling & Development
This training focuses on the effective use of Psytech measures within counselling and development contexts. It equips psychology professionals with the knowledge and practical skills required to use structured assessments to support career guidance, personal development and workplace growth.
The day combines a deeper look at the constructs measured by the VMI and the OIP with the practical craft of choosing, combining and interpreting measures appropriately — and integrating assessment data with the rest of what a counsellor or coach already knows about the person in front of them.

Two Core Psytech Measures
Develop a deep, applied understanding of two measures that anchor counselling and development work.
VMI
Values & Motives Inventory
A measure of the values and motivational drivers that shape the kind of work and environment in which a person will thrive — central to career and development conversations.
OIP
Occupational Interest Profile
A structured view of a person's occupational interests — helping map individual preferences onto roles, industries and career directions.
From Constructs to Applied Counselling Practice
Five learning outcomes — bridging theoretical understanding and practical use in counselling and development conversations.
Understand the Constructs
Develop a grounded understanding of the constructs measured by the VMI and the OIP — what they assess and what they don't.
Assessments Across Life Stages
Distinguish between assessments appropriate for counselling at different life stages — school-leavers, mid-career, late-career.
Compile the Right Battery
Compile an appropriate assessment battery for a given counselling or development purpose.
Development Contexts
Understand the different contexts in which assessment for development takes place — and how that shapes what you measure and how.
Integrate with Other Sources
Integrate information from other sources with structured test results to facilitate richer counselling conversations.
Apply in Practice
Translate assessment findings into the kinds of practical, client-ready feedback that supports real development decisions.
