Career Counselling

Hi, I’m sorting out papers and I re-read my report from Career Analysts from 1993, by Alexis Hallam. She really got me! I’m absolutely full of amazement about how accurate her assessment was in terms of my work needs and personality. I now have my dream job teaching psychology part time at a school in Bath, three gorgeous children and good self-esteem! With thanks and appreciation (I didn’t believe in myself back in 1993).

Felix has now made some good choices about his future and we thank you for the advice you have given him.

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.

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?

The aspect that I found particularly useful was which career would suit me and what to study at university. If someone needed it, I would definitely recommend career analysts without a doubt.

Dear Leo,

Good afternoon,
I found my career analysis report from the 7th of September 2000 (I was 17 at the time). I would like to thank Dr Alexis Hallam for such an accurate and insightful assessment. I am now working in wildlife conservation in Asia. Although not consciously, I am pretty sure the results of the Career Report helped build my confidence in pursuing my dreams and putting in the work needed to achieve them. Furthermore, Dr Hallam’s secondary assessment of training as a physical therapist has turned out to be extremely accurate as well, a field for which I have developed a significant interest over the past decade as I have taken up a number of new sports. Thank you again.
Best regards
Alexander

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.

Thank you very much for the report and the support that you have given Alex, she found her interview and report immensely useful and uplifting, just what she needed.

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.

Dear Leo,

Thank you very much for providing such a useful analysis! It is really helping with decisions regarding a university course.

Kind regards,

Zinnia
