Anyone used a good Career Counsellor?

DD (25) has realised that her chosen career Recruitment is not for her. Despite doing lots of research, talking to people and online psychometric tests she cannot decide on her next step. She feels pressure to get it right this time which I suspect is causing a bit of paralysis. I've suggested she engages a career counsellor to help her work through her options, one who may know about areas of work she, her family and friends might not be aware of. She'd be happy to pay for the right person but she/we don't know where to start. Google produces lots of options but no real recommendations. Does anyone have any recommendations of counsellors they have used or ideas ?

I used Careermax many years ago, then they became Career Analysts and I took my 16 yr old along about a year ago.
I found the sessions that I had very insightful, but not as helpful at the time as far as a career change (I was early 40’s and on a very good salary) that I could make without losing a lot in earnings.
The session for my 16 year old was intended to give him some guidance on GCSE choices and what they might lead to and I think that was useful.
The team are working in a field close/ parallel to recruiting but without the selling/ pressure so that may also give them a good view of the possible options.
