Constructivism sheds a new light on career counselling by promoting lifelong learning, attributing active roles to the clients, perceiving the counsellor more than an expert, turning the sessions into the cooperation between the client and counsellor, and regarding the clients as their own coaches unlike the traditional theories of career development and counselling. The old theories fall short of today's needs as the Turkish society has been drastically affected by the innovations and it is on the way of being westernized. The institutions which graduate counsellors in Turkey have been traditionally structured, however, as constructivism is concerned with the client's being more cooperative, peaceful, fruitful and satisfied, it is possible to apply it in Turkey.
