ABSTRACT This study analyzes the evolution of clients’ narrative transformation in career construction counseling. The intervention was administered to 19 participants, and its effects were assessed using standardized measures of vocational certainty, vocational identity, career decision‐making ability, and psychological distress. Participants’ narrative change was assessed using the Innovative Moments Coding System. Results indicated that the intervention was effective, yielding significant improvements in vocational certainty and identity, as well as a reduction in psychological distress. Although interindividual variability was observed, the findings replicate the previously established pattern of narrative change characterized by a gradual accumulation of narrative innovations that evolves toward increasing levels of narrative complexity. Additionally, the results provide further evidence that narrative innovations of a lower level of complexity play a central role in facilitating the good outcomes of counseling. The implications of these findings for both future research and vocational practice are discussed.
