Simon
Hi Leo, thank you for emailing me a copy of my report, I have had a good look and am very happy with its contents. I have found the process of Career Analysts thoroughly enjoyable and highly motivating. I have already begun to implement some changes in my life which are starting to reap benefits and open up new opportunities along the way. I feel that the type of information I was given following the assessment of my test results and the life skills interview with Sherridan is an opportunity that everyone should be afforded.
It seems an almost natural step to take between school and further education and I know that I would have certainly benefitted from this process at that stage in my life, but that said, I am not about to let 15 years get in the way of my goals now. Please pass on my kindest thanks to Sherridan for giving me the opportunity to see my true potential and for being so understanding when she listened to my ramblings surrounding my life thus far and the accident. Many thanks again to you both.

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.

I found the Career Analysts experience extremely valuable. The testing and discussion with Pamela indicated to me that actually I was following the wrong career path when taking my natural strengths in to account. The report and recommendations that were presented to me have helped me to make the decision to set off in a different direction in my career.
I found that while the testing and the report itself are very valuable, Pamela worked with me in order to find specific niches and area’s that I had either not thought about in the past, or at least from the incorrect perspective. It is obvious that Pamela is very interested in and excited by her current role.
Having a visual representation of my abilities and having an expert explain the results and take my input in to account in the consultation made me realise that I had been pursuing my goals in ways that were detrimental to my happiness and success.

I wanted to thank you for your insightful advice when we met. I’ve just completed the certificate course in Hypnotherapy and am starting the diploma in a couple of weeks! It’s fascinating and I am positively hooked. About a year from now I shall be qualified and hopefully starting up my own practice! Thanks again for your advice and time. Will keep you posted!

Dear Career Analysts, I wanted to let you know how I got on following your help in August 2014.
Firstly, it was incredibly helpful to have your perspective and advice at what was a really difficult time for me. As a result of your suggestions, I applied for Master’s courses in Operational Research and, notwithstanding my 3rd class degree, was offered a place at Southampton.
I spent the academic year 2014-15 in Southampton and have just received confirmation of my result which was a Distinction (average over 70%).
The course was much more varied than I was used to and involved the development of skills such as team work and presentations which I had not previously encountered at Cambridge. I really enjoyed the course which concluded with a two month work placement at the University of Augsburg in Germany working on a project for Allianz insurance and the completion of a report.
I submitted my report at the end of September and began applying for jobs. I have just started work in Operational Research for a major travel business.
In the summer of 2015 Cambridge agreed to upgrade my degree to a 2:2.
I wanted to let you know how I got on and to thank you for all your help and advice which has made such a difference to my situation over the last year or so.

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.

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!

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.

Arron
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.

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, 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).

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.

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.

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 for your email and the attached report. I have now received the hard copy too. It was an interesting day, the tests and the subsequent consultation. I will go through the report and the recommendations and will contact you if I need further clarification or help. In the meantime, please pass on my thanks and gratitude also to Mary for her help, careful advice and her time.

Jaime
By far the most valuable and revealing aspect of the whole experience was the personal consultancy. The occupational psychologist was simply masterful in her exploration and understanding my mind, far more so than I am myself. The careers that she was describing, and the way she was describing them, sounded exactly like the type of work I would like to be involved in later on in life.

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 🙂

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.

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.
