I am pleased to say I now have a job working for the Liberal Democrats which I am really enjoying. Thank you for your advice.

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.

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.

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

Amy
I feel that I have taken the first steps to changing my career to do something I have always wanted to do and I appreciate all the help that you gave me, particularly my discussions with the Occupational Psychologist. Without that day I doubt that I would have had the confidence to make the necessary changes, or even able to sort out the options available to me. Now, I feel I have had a new lease of life and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

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.

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.

Career Analysts made me think about all of my needs from a job and what kind of skills I have. The Psychologist/career counsellor was very warm and friendly, made an effort to understand me and made me feel I have lots of choices. I’m now considering very different options to the ones I was considering before I came.

Belatedly thank you to you and your colleagues for your work with our son Max. It was very insightful for us as parents and we felt Max was very well held In the process. As and when he is ready, we may come back to you for more help, but he isn’t there as yet.

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.

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.

By far the best team I’ve ever worked with. They truly understood the look I was going for and completely nailed it! I would highly recommend them as a company, you simply just won’t find any better team!

Just been clearing out ahead of moving house, and found a report that I commissioned from you back in 1994! I was only 2 years past graduating from my masters and feeling a bit frustrated….
Anyway, it is a very interesting read, and I wondered whether you ever follow up to see where your clients end up in their careers? The psychologist that I saw was Alexis Hallam, but probably not with you now?
Anyway, let me know if you want me to send you a copy of the report and maybe a copy of my current CV as a case study…..

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
