This article presents a case study that aims to describe the effectiveness of a life‐design counseling approach using the Career Construction Interview (Savickas, [Savickas, M. L., 2010]) with a final‐year female engineering student. A qualitative tool, the Career Counseling Innovative Outcomes (CCIO), was administered before and after the intervention to describe the client's change when using the life‐design model. The results of the analysis using the CCIO coding system indicate that the life‐design counseling allowed the participant to have a greater awareness of herself to autonomously develop her own career and life path. Further research on the CCIO may provide additional support for its effectiveness.
