Many clients begin coaching after making progress in therapy, at which point they tackle dissatisfaction in their occupation. One could infer that career coaching is the after effect of taking strides towards mental health. However, recent studies have shown that the feeling of being unable to leave a non-desired occupation (NDO) and/or workplace, known as either singly or doubly "locked-in," strongly correlates with adverse mental health outcomes (Canivet et al., 2017). Given this, mental health professionals are encouraged to routinely screen patients and make referrals to career coaches as a primary tool in addressing mental illness.
