Anna Daccache
Career Guidance & Career Transition Consultant. Dubai and online, in English and Russian.
Anna helps adults work out which professional direction suits them, and why, and then move towards it without the chaos and second-guessing that big decisions often bring.
“For me, career orientation is not about choosing a job. It is about coming back to yourself, to clarity and inner support. I know what it is like to be lost. And I know what it is like to suddenly hear: this is who I am, this is where to go.”
From international projects to career guidance
Before working with people's careers, Anna managed international event projects and earned an MBA. She knows the practical side of work: budgets, deadlines, teams, clients and the pressure of getting things right.
Over the past seven years and more she trained in psychology, cognitive behavioural methods, coaching and career orientation, more than 3,000 hours of professional education in total, and has spent over 5,000 hours in consultations with clients.
She works with adults choosing or changing a profession and with people rethinking how they use their experience. Her clients range from people starting from scratch to those who want to confirm a choice they have already made.

How Anna works
Your experience, in your words
Instead of standard tests, Anna studies your real experience and how you describe it. This psycholinguistic analysis shows what motivates you, which tasks you enjoy, what you do best and the conditions you work well in.
Doubts and fears, taken seriously
Decisions often stall on fear of choosing wrong, of losing stability, or of starting late. Anna uses methods from cognitive behavioural psychology to understand what holds you back and how to move anyway, at your pace.
Concrete next steps
The result is a reasoned recommendation, not a random list of professions: what fits, why, and how to move in that direction. For many services that includes a detailed written report.
