Stuck in Your Role or Unsure What Comes Next?
Why People Get Stuck in Their Careers
Many professionals know they want more from their work but aren’t sure how to get there. The next step might feel too uncertain, or too daunting. As a result, they remain where they are, even when they know it’s not right.
Some begin to make progress, only to stall at the first obstacle. That’s where career coaching makes a real difference: by helping you overcome the mental, practical and strategic barriers to change.
Career Coaching Helps You Make Change Happen
Career coaching is a practical, forward-focused way to move from where you are now to where you want to be. Your coach works with you to define realistic objectives, break them into manageable steps, and guide you through each phase with clear focus and accountability.
Whether you’re aiming for a promotion, considering a new direction, or simply want to feel more fulfilled at work,we help you make it happen.

What to Expect from Career Coaching
Goal-Oriented, One-to-One Coaching
Each coaching session lasts one to two hours and is entirely focused on your objectives. Together, you and your coach will review your progress, tackle specific challenges, and agree on actions for the next session.
You’ll receive honest, supportive feedback, and a structured plan that builds momentum.
Explain how each session is structured, including the focus on agreed objectives, action points and ongoing momentum.
A Typical Career Coaching Programme
We recommend booking an initial block of four sessions, usually held weekly. Many clients continue for six to twelve sessions depending on their goals and the complexity of their situation.
There are no long-term commitments. We offer a flexible, hourly rate with no hidden costs, and we’ll never try to sell you more than you need.

Is Career Coaching Right for You?
Questions to Ask Yourself
If you’ve asked yourself any of the following questions, career coaching could be the right next step:
Am I progressing in my career as I think I should – how can I accelerate this?
Is the organisation I’m working for the culturally right for me?
Am I making the most of my talents, abilities, experience and qualifications?
Should I retrain or update my qualifications?
Are there areas, such as leadership skills, that are holding me back?
Is stress, anger or resentment an issue and restricting my progress?

The Occupational Psychologist showed me lots of interesting websites and all the kinds of jobs I could do.

Career Analysts helped me to find out what sort of careers I am best suited for, all of the suggestions appealed to me and some of which I never would have considered without their help. My career consultant was very easy to talk with, I never felt under pressure and the consultation was an absolute joy to have done. The report was very interesting and informative and the Careers Analysts experience overall has helped me to know more about where my strengths lie and has given me some direction.

Lainey
Im writing to say how impressed we were with your career guidance for my daughter Lainey, and to request your assistance with our younger daughter Gabriella. She is nearly 14 and has to choose her GCSE subjects but is really struggling – shes only got three option slots but wants to do six subjects, which school will not allow her to do. Shes getting 8s and 9s for every subject (apart from PE, which Im not bothered about! ) and she would really appreciate some help in choosing her direction of study. Can you help?

Grace and Jonty
Dear Leo,
Just to say how delighted I have been with the career guidance service that you have offered to Grace and Jonty. Grace has made an application to train as a primary school teacher. The assurance of your analysis was absolutely key to this. Jonty is a year or two further away from the employment market place, but my hope was that you would give him ideas that were novel and out of the box which you certainly did. Let’s see where he goes, but this experience will have been invaluable whatever happens.
I’ve left a review on Google.
Many thanks once again

I felt that everything I talked about with my consultant was relevant to me and how I want to work out my future at university and my career. The personality profiling and aptitude tests were particularly useful.

Mohsin
Just as an update as to my situation from a year ago. The report proved useful as it helped to give a clear representation of my strengths and weaknesses and extrapolate from there. I have ended up a software engineer for a very large defence contractor and so far I haven’t done too badly so far.

Rhian
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the career advice and help I received from you; it has been absolutely invaluable.
As a little update, I am now 8 weeks into an MSc in Occupational & Organisational Psychology (Part-time, distance learning) at University of Northumbria, and am working part time at the events company below too that you found! I approached them even though they didnt have any suitable vacancies at the time but then they got back to me and have created a part-time position for me!
I am also out of my toxic old job and so much happier.
Thank you so much, its absolutely changed my life.

The Career Analysts’ experience was useful in confirming what should be my first step in making a positive career adjustment. The Occupational Psychologist was very easy to talk to; a very relaxed session. Honest and realistic about the current job market/climate.

The Occupational Psychologist had obviously got me down to a tee!

Oliver
The process helped me to understand my strengths and where my areas of interests lie. I feel like I have a better vision of what career I want to go into. Leo took the time to help me out and was very patient when dealing with me. The programme was structured well. Although it was quite challenging I felt as though I benefited from it. The report helped me to gain a better and more solid understanding of my career pathway.
I understood through this programme how I could utilise my strengths to serve a purpose. I feel it is better to follow your intuition than follow a course of action you are not familiar with. I found that working with the psychologist helped me to gain a different perspective on work. The experience also caused me to change my opinion on my career options.

Several comments really rang true. I had thought counselling might suit me, but she advised against it and when I mentioned this to close family they agreed with the Career Analyst.

Alan
The other day I stumbled across my assessment feedback from when I visited Career Analysts in 1986! My mum passed away last year and she had kept the papers, which was typical of her organisational skills. I just wanted to let you know that 20 years on the assessment has mirrored reality. It made uncanny reading. I am a Solicitor working in the private sector, I also work as a part time Member of the Parole Board. Some of the comments made in 1986 are as apt today as they were when I was 16!

Barbara
I came to Career Analysts following a divorce and being made redundant from a dead-end job. I saw an advert and decided to make the investment. It was the best money I have ever spent. Your psychologist told me – who had been a failure at school – that I was in the top 2% in the country for my problem-solving and spatial skills and that I had the capability to study for a degree! She brushed aside my protestations about not having O or A levels or First Degree and told me that I would ‘find a way’.
She was so right albeit that it was some nine years later that I was accepted onto a MSc in strategic HRM at Anglia Ruskin University as a result of conducting a three-and-a-half-year major change consultancy assignment. To cap it all, I was accepted into MENSA a year later. I will be singing your praises and recommending you to anyone who needs you.
Thank you.

Hi there,
I just want to thank you Leo, and if you can pass on my feedback to Sherridan – she was absolutely fantastic and took the time to explain everything to me and really going beyond just the career aspect of it 🙂

Tallulah
The best parts were finding out about my strengths and weaknesses and the analysts if my personality helped me to find out what I might find fulfilling/rewarding out of a career. Also the recommendations of career paths and just parts where it was recognised whether or not a certain aspect of a career would suit me, e.g working in a team.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is career coaching?
Career coaching is a structured, one-to-one process designed to help you clarify your goals, overcome obstacles and make progress in your professional life. It provides practical guidance and accountability to help you move from where you are now to where you want to be.
How is career coaching different from career counselling?
Career counselling often focuses on identifying suitable career paths, typically through assessments and analysis. Career coaching is action-oriented, it supports you in achieving specific goals, such as getting promoted, improving leadership skills or navigating a career change.
Who is career coaching suitable for?
Our career coaching is ideal for professionals at any stage, whether you’re early in your career, mid-level and seeking growth, or exploring a new direction. It’s also beneficial for individuals returning to work or managing significant change in their working life.
How many coaching sessions will I need?
We recommend starting with a minimum of four sessions to gain traction, though many clients opt for between six and twelve depending on their goals. There’s no obligation to commit long-term, we work at your pace and on your terms.
What happens during a coaching session?
Each session is tailored to your objectives. You’ll review progress with your coach, address current challenges, and agree on next steps. Sessions typically last between one and two hours and are held weekly or fortnightly, depending on your needs.
Can coaching help with specific skills like leadership or communication?
Yes. Career coaching can focus on targeted areas such as leadership development, team management, communication, confidence, or handling workplace stress. Your coach will work with you to identify and strengthen the skills most relevant to your goals.
Is everything we discuss confidential?
Absolutely. All coaching sessions are confidential and provide a safe, professional space for honest discussion and self-reflection.
