One-to-one career guidance for students, parents and adults
Message us on WhatsAppABI Career Builders · Career guidance
Career decisions shouldn't be based only on what sounds interesting today.
Through career counselling and the right assessment, we help students and adults understand their interests, strengths and options – and turn them into a practical plan for their studies and career.
Not sure where to start? Take the 1-minute checkWho we help
Understand which directions match your interests and abilities before you commit.
Compare your options with someone who knows the process and the pathways.
Turn your studies into a clear first career step, further study or specialisation.
Look at your experience and strengths again and see which moves make sense.
Not sure where to start?
It takes less than a minute. We'll show you how career guidance would work in your situation.
Nothing you choose here is saved or sent.
How it works
Tell us briefly where you are now. We contact you to arrange your first meeting.
Chosen for your age and situation – looking at your interests, abilities and preferences.
A one-to-one conversation about what the results mean for you.
Possible study and career pathways, and the concrete next steps to take.
What you leave with
At the end of the process you know more than “what might suit you”. You know why, and what to do next.
Your interests, strengths and work preferences, explained in plain language.
Fields of study, courses and careers that fit you – and the reasons behind each one.
What to do in the coming weeks – applications, deadlines, subjects or experience to build.
For parents
We help students explore their interests, abilities, educational options and possible career pathways through a structured career guidance process – so the decision is based on more than guesswork.
From students and parents
“Before my sessions I was choosing between law and psychology just because my friends were. The assessment showed me why I kept coming back to psychology, and now I'm applying to the University of Cyprus with a clear plan B.”
“We were worried about our son choosing a degree abroad without really knowing what he wanted. After the results meeting we all sat at the same table and agreed on a plan. It took a lot of tension out of the house.”
“I finished my accounting degree and felt stuck in Larnaca doing work I didn't enjoy. The sessions helped me see how my strengths fit data analysis, and I've now started an MSc.”

Ask us on WhatsAppThe first meeting usually lasts about an hour. The full process – assessment, results discussion and your written plan – usually takes 2–3 sessions over two to four weeks.
Both. You can meet your counsellor in person at our office or online by video call, whichever suits you. Many families start online and come in for the results discussion.
School students from around age 14, Lyceum students choosing a degree, university applicants, recent graduates and adults who are thinking about a change of direction.
Yes. For school students, parents are welcome at the first meeting and at the results discussion, so everyone leaves with the same plan. The assessment itself is done by the student alone.
Your counsellor chooses the assessment that fits your age and situation. It looks at your interests, abilities, personality and work preferences, and it is done online in your own time. There are no right or wrong answers.
It depends on the support you need, from a single consultation to the full guidance process. We tell you the exact cost before anything is booked, and there are no hidden extras.
We contact you within one working day to answer any questions and find a time that suits you. There's no payment at this stage.
Our services
Choosing school subjects, a degree, a university or your next career step? Find the stage you're at below. Each service explains who it's for, how it works and what you leave with.
Not sure which service fits? Book an appointment and we'll recommend one.
Feeling unsure of yourself, stuck with your studies, or not sure what you're working towards?
Regular one-to-one sessions with a coach who helps you understand your strengths, build better study habits and set goals you can actually reach.
Not sure which subjects, studies or careers would really suit you?
A psychometric assessment that looks at your personality, interests, abilities and work preferences. A counsellor then explains your results and connects them to study options and possible career pathways.
A study or career decision is coming up, and you don't know where to start?
A structured programme of personal consultations. You find out what you're good at and what interests you, look at the study and career options that match, and leave with a realistic plan.
Choosing school subjects and worried the wrong choice could close doors later?
We go through the Ministry of Education requirements with you and help you choose subjects that fit your abilities, your interests and the degrees you may want to apply for.
Applying to university in Cyprus or Greece, and the process feels confusing?
We guide you through the Pan-Cyprian Examination process, help you choose programmes and universities, and check your application forms with you so nothing is missed.
Planning a bachelor's or master's in Cyprus or abroad, and not sure where to begin?
Support for undergraduate and postgraduate applicants: choosing the right university and programme, writing your personal statement and meeting each university's admission requirements.
Applying for jobs but not getting interviews, or not sure how to present yourself?
Practical preparation for the job market in Cyprus and abroad: a CV that shows what you can do, a stronger LinkedIn profile and interview practice that builds confidence.
For parents
We help students explore their interests, abilities, educational options and possible career pathways through a structured career guidance process. You stay involved, and the decision is based on more than guesswork.
“I just don't know what I want to study.”
Where many families are
Deadlines are getting closer and your child still can't say what they want.
Rather than because of what really suits their strengths and interests.
And those choices affect which degrees they can apply for later.
Too many universities and entry requirements to compare on your own.
The good news
You don't have to work this out alone, and neither does your child. A career counsellor guides them through an assessment and a structured conversation, and you take part in the decision.
Every stage has its own decision
Choose a stage to see the decision in front of them, and how we help.
The decision ahead
At this age most children don't know yet what they want. That's normal, but the next choice still has to be made.
How we help
The decision ahead
Subject choices can feel small now, but they decide which programmes your child can apply for in a few years.
How we help
The decision ahead
Cyprus, Greece, the UK or elsewhere: every route has its own requirements, deadlines and costs.
How we help
The decision ahead
Some students realise in their first year that the course isn't right. Others finish and don't know the next step.

Parent testimonials
“As a mother of two teenagers, I struggled to guide them. ABI gave us a clear roadmap, and my children are now following paths that truly suit them.”
“The parent support programme completely opened my eyes. I learned how to support my daughter's career choices without imposing my own expectations.”
“My son was struggling to choose between Lyceum and a technical school. The assessment and guidance gave us the clarity we needed.”
Questions parents ask
Something else on your mind? Send us a message and we'll answer before you book anything.
Ask us on WhatsAppYes, for the parts that matter most to you. Parents are welcome at the first meeting and at the results discussion. The assessment itself is done by your child alone, so the answers are really theirs.
That's common. Many teenagers are more open when they see it isn't about being told what to do. The process starts from their own interests and answers, not from a decision someone else has made for them.
This is one of the most useful reasons to come. The results give you both the same starting point, and the counsellor helps you talk through the options calmly, with reasons behind each one.
Ideally before a deadline, not just before it. Subject choices in Lyceum and university applications both have fixed dates, so starting a few months earlier gives your child time to think.
