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?

Lainey
I’m 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 – she’s only got three option slots but wants to do six subjects, which school will not allow her to do. She’s getting 8s and 9s for every subject (apart from PE, which I’m not bothered about! ) and she would really appreciate some help in choosing her direction of study. Can you help?

I have kept my career report from 1995 by Alexis Hallam and periodically read it. Very accurate and still resonates. Out of curiosity I went to your web site and see I am not the only person who has done this. Alexis must have been very good.

You helped me to find all my options and to think of careers on a bigger scale. The aptitude profile was particularly useful – I thought it was fantastic.

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

We were really pleased with the results of James’s session with your company. He is very happy in his job (as an electrician) and is doing really well. We have spoken very highly of the results and have given your details to lots of people!
We would like to book a similar session for our younger son Ben. He has just taken his GCSEs, so we would like to book an appointment for after he gets his results (some time in the week of 28th August).

High quality service offered, both in terms of consultation and psychometric assessments used for guidance. Felt understood and cared about throughout the whole process, and they went above and beyond in accommodating any questions or concerns I had going in.

Hi Leo, My consultation went very well and it definitely helped me clarify the area of undergraduate study that I want to go into. Thank you very much!

The career analysts experience was very valuable. Some of the information I already knew but it was good to see how that fitted into my career choice. Some info was surprising too!

We approached Career Analysts seeking clarification about our younger son’s best direction in his post-16 education and future career direction. Understanding his strengths and likes we had to some extent done our own research, but we were still unsure as to his best direction. The testing, interview and research carried out before/after his interview all indicated that he was indeed heading in the right direction. The clarification from Mary, our son’s adviser, was most valuable to us – and indeed our son. Mary has obviously done a large amount of research in producing her written report. This is why, for example, she was able to suggest a possible course at an institution which we would never have known about or considered ourselves. The service offered by Career Analysts should be considered as an investment – in your own, or your child’s future. By all means do your own research which will undoubtedly prove beneficial. The testing, interpretation of results and pursuant opportunities regarding future education and employment opportunities is not something you will easily navigate as a result of your own efforts though. So, if you can afford, I’d say buy.

Francesca
The psychologist gave me realistic advice according to the type of person I am and my education and experience. I think she was very accurate. I feel I have a number and a range of choices, and I understand the areas that I would be successful in. The aptitude tests were quite enlightening.

HI and thanks… I didn’t know the significance of the report until now… 12 years on!
12 years ago I came to Career Analyst as I had just been made redundant. I remember spending an interesting day with you and did a whole bunch of tests and had a chat with someone.
Back then, I had commitments and didn’t really take on board the significance of what the report was actually telling me, nor did I listen to my gut & heart which were both saying “go for your dreams” and so I went back to Corporate, mainly to pay for our mortgage, for another 8 years.
I pulled out my report at the weekend and had to smile. The 3 key jobs recommended back then were: Executive Coach, Occupational Psychologist, Trainer. All I remember from the meeting was Occupational Psychologist and at 34, I didn’t fancy going back to Uni and re-training.
3 years ago I changed my life and walked away from Corporate – guess what I do now? Yep, Training and Coaching and I love it! I may not be earning as much as I did in my Corporate role, but I feel my life is enriched by what I do…
Just wanted to say a belated thanks to whoever helped me back then…!

Gabrielle
Following my consultation with Mary last week I have to say a huge thank you to you both.
Mary covered all of the career options I had raised and provided extremely helpful career and personal advice over an unexpected 3 hour session!
She really seemed to understand what I was needing to get out of the consultation and I have taken away some valuable things about myself that I hadn’t realised or was reluctant to accept about myself prior to the session.
I now have a better understanding as to the type of career that would be suited to me and now it’s a case of working out which one I want to pursue.
The consultation has provided me with valuable insight about myself so thank you again to everyone at Career Analysts.

The Career Analysts experience provided me with valuable information. The Occupational Psychologist gave me a lot to think about and the report was a good summary.

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.

Just a quick note to thank you again for all your help and to let you know I have been offered a place at Aston Business School so coming to see you last summer was most definitely the catalyst I needed to improve my prospects.

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.

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 🙂

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 didn’t 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, it’s absolutely changed my life.

My consultant was v. enthusiastic and understanding. Didn’t apply one formula – she gave me individual attention. The report arrived v. efficiently and was well laid out. The Career Analysts experience – it’s like holding up a mirror to yourself. The consultant gave me a lot of encouragement and really helped me see my strengths.

Hello,
I thought you might be interested to hear how your advice worked out for me as a 52 year old Engineer Surveyor of 9 years following a 26 year career in the RAF as a Mechanical Engineer.
I came to you in January 1986 as my father was at his wits end with me about a career and my lack of enthusiasm for studying at school. I saw Melvin R Stockdale and he wrote his recommendations in the Career Advice Report dated 24 Jan 1986.
To be honest, reading this now is slightly unnerving, although how accurate it was as advice is ridiculous!
The line to take away for me is:
“The two main fields which I suggest you look at carefully in order to (a) find out what they involve and (b) to test your own feelings about them: Surveying and Electrical/Mechanical Engineering.”
Like I said that is EXACTLY what I have done and am still doing!
I hope you find this story of your business being absolutely on the money as interesting/funny as I do, I wish my Dad was still here to share this with him. I think I did him proud in the end and all his worry and frustration paid off in the end!

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.
