- Programme: Teenagers
Please can you let her know that it proved to be money very well spent! The analysis (interest in Social Services) opened up possibilities for university degrees and suggested that she studied Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE). She’d never heard of such a degree. Your analysis & report opened up the possibilities.
PPE appealed. She applied to a few top universities, & after an entrance exam and interview has now been offered a conditional place to study PPE at Christchurch College, Oxford University.
For the first time in her life she’s proud of herself! Remarkable really.
So thank you.

Hi Leo and Mary, it was lovely meeting you both on Friday. Thank you for all your help and advice, it was a refreshing change to see William animated and motivated after our meeting. He knows he has a long way to go but he has our support. He visited the local college on Saturday as they had an open day and enquired about IT courses.

My self-awareness was fairly good already. However, Career Analysts affirmed that having my own company is right for me and to continue with this. I have come away feeling more positive about the way I work and more in control.

Thomas
I had accepted an offer for a BSc but wanted to check what my options would be with (and without) the degree. I am now set on doing the degree and have a much better idea what I can and might want to do with it. I feel much more confident in my mathematical abilities (and skills in general) and have a good idea what I need to work on. The report was detailed and helpful following on from the discussion on the day.
I feel I know what I need to work on with CBT in the future, and I have a better idea of what jobs I would be suited to (and, reassuringly, that there are such jobs…). I found particularly useful the warning about teaching as possibly being particularly stressful for someone like me. Confirmation of my skills and abilities.

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.

Stephen
Hi,
More than 25 years ago, I sought careers advice with your organisation, and following your advice, embarked on a master’s degree at the University of London in Ergonomics, specialising in Human Factors in Human-Computer Interaction, which was the first year it was offered as a specialisation.
I now work at Google/YouTube, where I have been for nearly six years, after 15 years working in various Silicon Valley companies, focusing specifically on Internet products. I often tell my story of how I got started, because those entering my profession now cannot believe that I have been in the field for so long, having experienced so much – I hardly believe it myself.
My career counsellor was Anne Lines, whose name I have not forgotten. She may have retired now, but while I considered her advice with a healthy dose of scepticism at the time, it turned out to be incredibly perceptive.
Best wishes for the new year.

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.

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!

On 26th October I received my Career Analysts report. It gave me a lot of ideas on where to go in the future; I found the service exemplary and the staff efficient and friendly. I have enrolled in training courses that I have an interest in and that would be beneficial to my future career. I have been offered a job in a sector in which I can progress and exploit my full potential. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Career Analysts for the fantastic advice and service, helping me to finally get my career on the right path. Keep up the good work!

A belated thank you so much for your advice and support last week – and for the comments/tips below. It was an extremely useful session, well-tailored to my needs and has helped to structure and focus my thinking; It has also enabled me to feel more confident about preparing for/addressing interviews.
- Programme: Career Change
You won’t remember me, but I came to visit you at Career Analysts back in 2001. I thought you might be interested in what I have achieved since. You advised me to return to university (I was then 36). Eventually I took your advice following redundancy, and completed a BSc in Geology at Durham, graduating with first class honours. I have just completed my PhD from Bristol University working on volcanoes in the Afar region of Ethiopia – the most extraordinary experience! I am now off to Hawaii for a two-year post-doc looking into the origin of Earth’s water. All of this a far cry from the admin role I had when I came to visit you! I was very skeptical of returning to study was very disbelieving when you told me I was more than capable – you were right I was wrong! Thanks for your help back then.

Marie-Therese
I found the Career Analysts experience very pertinent. It has highlighted my frustration at work doing secretarial work. I also found the personality profile interesting. I know that I am determined and driven, but I did not realize to what extent i.e. I did not think I was more driven than other people and I see now how this aspect of my personality conflicts with routine work. I realize that I need to find a job that provides outlet for this. Hitherto, I have done this through studying.

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.

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!

Sophie
Some of the suggestions were things I had already thought of, but Mary had new ideas too + tried to wrestle with my myriad of issues! It’s been great for me to try and see why some ideas are no longer appealing (albeit work areas in which I have long-standing experience), and to have a really sound baseline of ideas for me to consider what I do next. Particularly useful was the discussion with Mary and the efforts she took to try and understand my circumstances. Her moral support for my current career / employment difficulties.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a career advisor do?
A career advisor helps you understand your strengths, skills, and preferences, and matches these to suitable career paths. At Career Analysts, our advisors are Occupational Psychologists, meaning they combine psychological insight with in-depth knowledge of the job market to provide truly personalised career advice.
How is your service different from general career guidance?
Unlike generic advice or automated tools, our service includes professional psychometric testing, expert interpretation, and one-to-one sessions with a qualified advisor. It’s a scientifically grounded process that leads to a bespoke career plan based on you.
Can a career advisor help me if I already have a job?
Yes. Many of our clients are already in employment but feel unfulfilled, stagnant, or curious about a new direction. We help you identify whether a career change, upskilling, or a different role within your current field would better align with your goals and values.
What qualifications do your career advisors have?
All our career advisors are fully qualified Occupational Psychologists. Each holds at least:
A BSc in Psychology
An MSc in Occupational Psychology
This professional background ensures our advice is based on scientific principles and practical knowledge.
Do I need to prepare anything before my session?
No formal preparation is required. However, it helps to reflect on your work history, what you enjoy or dislike in your current role, and what outcomes you’re hoping to achieve. A copy of your CV can also be useful during the consultation.
Can this service help with a mid-life career change?
Absolutely. Many of our clients are in their 30s, 40s, or 50s and looking for more meaningful work, better balance, or a completely new path. We specialise in helping people evaluate their transferable skills and map out realistic, fulfilling options.
What’s included in the career advisor package?
Our standard programme includes:
Online psychometric assessments.
Expert analysis by a qualified advisor.
A one-to-one consultation.
A detailed, personalised career report.
Advice on any relevant training or qualifications.
We also offer bespoke packages if additional support is required.
Is this service suitable for students or school leavers?
Yes. We work with clients at every stage of their career journey, including teenagers choosing A-levels, university courses, or first jobs. Our assessments help identify early strengths and match them to future career opportunities.
How long does the process take?
The initial process (assessments, analysis, and consultation) typically takes 1–2 weeks. Your written report is delivered shortly after your one-to-one session. Additional support is available if needed.
How much does it cost?
Packages start at £695, which includes the full process: testing, consultation, analysis, and your written career report. It’s a one-time investment in clarity and direction that can shape your future.
