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!

Please could you tell your occupational psychologist that I took the job with the charity and I’m loving it! Thanks!

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.

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.

Richard
Dear Leo I thought I would drop you a quick note to give you some feedback on my experience with Career Analysts. I was particularly impressed with the Occupational Psychologist. She clearly understood my objectives and did a lot of research to make sure the advice she gave me was specific to my needs. This allowed my time with her to be productive and highly focused on what I wanted to achieve. The Occupational Psychologist’s insight into the specific job role I was looking for, combined with an uncanny ability to access my personality, was truly remarkable.
She helped me build confidence and understand what was driving me in my previous jobs. I constantly try to analyse my job skills and look at how I can improve myself. The Occupational Psychologist took that to a completely different level and within an hour with her it was clear I couldn’t see the wood from the trees. The net result was that within a matter of weeks I was able to secure a job in a completely different industry. I am extremely grateful to the Occupational Psychologist and Career Analysts for helping me understand my vocation and future path. I would not hesitate to recommend your services.
Regards Richard

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.

Sorry to miss you on my way out, I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything today, it was really helpful. I look forward to hearing from you with my report but I am not in a rush and I understand if this takes some time.

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!

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

Lily
Hi Leo,
I’m not sure if this will reach you after all these years, but worth a try!
I just wanted to say how accurate Lily’s report and recommendation turned out to be. At the time, she was a little disappointed that the analysis didn’t support her career goals at that point. She was keen on law and the recommendations of a healthcare/medical path didn’t sit well. The healthcare university courses mentioned in the report were something she didn’t want to go for and she ended up graduating in political science from Birmingham (you did recommend PPE as a more general option).
Lily is now working as a patient flow manager in the NHS. She loves her job. The interesting thing is that she wasn’t consciously drawn to this as a result of her report. But, as it turns out, your recommendations of working in management and policy in a healthcare setting was spot on.
I came across her report after I recommended Career Analysts to a friend. I sent the report onto Lily as a reminder. She had forgotten the detail and was a bit spooked (in a good way) about how accurate it was.
We shouldn’t be surprised of course. However, I just wanted to say, after all this time, what a useful and insightful experience Career Analyst was. I will be definitely recommending you.
Regards.

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.

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.

Kate
Dear Leo and Sherridan
You will remember that Kate and I visited Sherridan at her home in February this year. You both asked to be kept informed of her progress.
I am delighted to be able to tell you that Kate secured a job on 19 March!
They are a lovely team and they have said they are so happy to have her, they really like her and she fits in very well. Likewise, she is loving the job, and most importantly it ticks all the boxes for her; ‘people skills, communication, information governance and attention to detail, very little travel cost, etc., etc. They told her at the interview that it’s a ‘job for life’ and so we told her to join the NHS pension scheme! In any event, I am sure that this could lead to other roles within the NHS in the future, if she got itchy feet.
Sometimes the missing piece of the puzzle just clicks into place perfectly. I am ecstatic. It has been so very hard for her, and her Dad and I. Most of all Kate has worked so hard for her achievements and she is conscientious and dedicated and deserves to be so happily employed.
Many thanks for your help and assistance along the way. It was very much appreciated.
Very best wishes to you both.

Just wanted to say what a lovely chat I had with Mary today. I felt like she took the time to really understand me and see how to tailor careers to suit me personally rather than trying to force anything on me, and I appreciated how at ease she made me and felt the overall experience was very rewarding so I look forward to reading her report further to the session.

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.

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.
