8 Reasons You Need Career Therapy


Ever felt like something’s missing in your career, but you’re not sure what it is? You’re not alone. Many professionals reach a point where they know they’re ready for something more—more clarity, more fulfillment, or more purpose. But when it comes to figuring out how to get there, things can feel a bit unclear.


At The Happy Mondays Co., we meet people every day who are eager to make a shift in their careers but aren’t quite sure what that looks like or where to start. That’s where Career Therapy comes in.



What is Career Therapy™?


Career Therapy™ is a one-of-a-kind approach that combines the best of coaching, counseling, and psychotherapy, designed specifically for professionals seeking deeper fulfillment and clarity in their careers. What sets Career Therapy™ apart is its foundation in scientifically backed methods—blending neuroscience, trauma-informed therapy, and action-driven techniques. This holistic approach doesn’t just address career challenges; it focuses on sustainable transformation that helps professionals thrive.


The main difference between career coaching and career therapy is that Career Therapy™ helps you identify the root causes of what's holding you back, challenge limiting beliefs, and build new, empowering strategies. unlike coaching which is most of the time focused on the present and future.


At The Happy Mondays Co., we’re proud to be a pioneer career coaching company offering this innovative blend of coaching and therapy. Career Therapy™ was created by our founder, Sandra Quelle, who recognized that while traditional career coaching is incredibly valuable, it doesn’t always address the underlying emotional or psychological blocks that can hinder true career growth.


Sandra’s deep expertise in both coaching and psychotherapy—combined with her training in trauma-informed therapy, somatics, mindfulness, and proven therapeutic frameworks like Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS)—inspired her to create Career Therapy™. This unique approach helps professionals gain clarity, address past challenges, and unlock opportunities for positive, long-lasting change in their careers.
