Stuck in Your Role or Unsure What Comes Next?
Why People Get Stuck in Their Careers
Many professionals know they want more from their work but aren’t sure how to get there. The next step might feel too uncertain, or too daunting. As a result, they remain where they are, even when they know it’s not right.
Some begin to make progress, only to stall at the first obstacle. That’s where career coaching makes a real difference: by helping you overcome the mental, practical and strategic barriers to change.
Career Coaching Helps You Make Change Happen
Career coaching is a practical, forward-focused way to move from where you are now to where you want to be. Your coach works with you to define realistic objectives, break them into manageable steps, and guide you through each phase with clear focus and accountability.
Whether you’re aiming for a promotion, considering a new direction, or simply want to feel more fulfilled at work,we help you make it happen.

What to Expect from Career Coaching
Goal-Oriented, One-to-One Coaching
Each coaching session lasts one to two hours and is entirely focused on your objectives. Together, you and your coach will review your progress, tackle specific challenges, and agree on actions for the next session.
You’ll receive honest, supportive feedback, and a structured plan that builds momentum.
Explain how each session is structured, including the focus on agreed objectives, action points and ongoing momentum.
A Typical Career Coaching Programme
We recommend booking an initial block of four sessions, usually held weekly. Many clients continue for six to twelve sessions depending on their goals and the complexity of their situation.
There are no long-term commitments. We offer a flexible, hourly rate with no hidden costs, and we’ll never try to sell you more than you need.

Is Career Coaching Right for You?
Questions to Ask Yourself
If you’ve asked yourself any of the following questions, career coaching could be the right next step:
Am I progressing in my career as I think I should – how can I accelerate this?
Is the organisation I’m working for the culturally right for me?
Am I making the most of my talents, abilities, experience and qualifications?
Should I retrain or update my qualifications?
Are there areas, such as leadership skills, that are holding me back?
Is stress, anger or resentment an issue and restricting my progress?

High quality service offered, both in terms of consultation and psychometric assessments used for guidance. Felt understood and cared about throughout the whole process, and they went above and beyond in accommodating any questions or concerns I had going in.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

I haven’t had a chance to go through the official feedback process yet. I will though, but meanwhile must say how pleased I am with Mary’s report. It’s been such a helpful process and I’m delighted with the advice she has offered. I shall follow through with the proper feedback process ASAP.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

I have kept my career report from 1995 by Alexis Hallam and periodically read it. Very accurate and still resonates. Out of curiosity I went to your web site and see I am not the only person who has done this. Alexis must have been very good.

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.

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.
