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?

Francesca
The psychologist gave me realistic advice according to the type of person I am and my education and experience. I think she was very accurate. I feel I have a number and a range of choices, and I understand the areas that I would be successful in. The aptitude tests were quite enlightening.

Emma
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.

Good afternoon,
I wonder whether you are the same Sherridan Hughes I saw in June 1993 at Career Analysts at 90 Gloucester Place.
It was a long time ago and I am now 76 years old, but contacting Careers Analysts for an assessment then was most helpful.
After the various tests and the assessment results, I gained the courage to stop being a housewife and have a go at an A level in English with a view to going to university as a mature student.
I subsequently gained a BA Hons) in English at the University of Birmingham, followed by an MA in Book History (Distinction), also at Birmingham, then a PhD in Book History at the Institute of English Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London; finally I published a book derived from my PhD research in 2016.
Your assessment was absolutely spot on, and I shall always be grateful for your advice.

We were really pleased with the results of James’s session with your company. He is very happy in his job (as an electrician) and is doing really well. We have spoken very highly of the results and have given your details to lots of people!
We would like to book a similar session for our younger son Ben. He has just taken his GCSEs, so we would like to book an appointment for after he gets his results (some time in the week of 28th August).

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.

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.

I appreciate your work in helping me at this difficult time. I need to digest the results and act soon. Could you thank the careers adviser on my behalf for her work, recommendations and websites? She might be pleased to know that I have been short-listed for the Lay Chaplain post at New Hall School.

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!

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.

Stephen
Hi,
More than 25 years ago, I sought careers advice with your organisation, and following your advice, embarked on a master’s degree at the University of London in Ergonomics, specialising in Human Factors in Human-Computer Interaction, which was the first year it was offered as a specialisation.
I now work at Google/YouTube, where I have been for nearly six years, after 15 years working in various Silicon Valley companies, focusing specifically on Internet products. I often tell my story of how I got started, because those entering my profession now cannot believe that I have been in the field for so long, having experienced so much – I hardly believe it myself.
My career counsellor was Anne Lines, whose name I have not forgotten. She may have retired now, but while I considered her advice with a healthy dose of scepticism at the time, it turned out to be incredibly perceptive.
Best wishes for the new year.

The other day I stumbled across my assessment feedback from when I visited Career Analysts in 1986! My mum passed away last year and she had kept the papers, which was typical of her organisational skills. I just wanted to let you know that 20 years on the assessment has mirrored reality. It made uncanny reading. I am a Solicitor working in the private sector, I also work as a part time Member of the Parole Board. Some of the comments made in 1986 are as apt today as they were when I was 16!

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.

You helped me to find all my options and to think of careers on a bigger scale. The aptitude profile was particularly useful – I thought it was fantastic.

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.

I just wanted to say thank you to yourself, Sheridan and Leo for the help which you provided to Sophie. It enabled her to find a way through to the next stage and she has applied to study Liberal Arts at university as that does seem to be a good fit for her and something that she will very much enjoy. Shes had a couple of offers through and now just needs to get her grades! I dont have Sheridans or Leos email addresses so please pass this message on to them. Thanks again. Michelle.

How is career coaching different from career counselling?
Career counselling often focuses on identifying suitable career paths, typically through assessments and analysis. Career coaching is action-oriented, it supports you in achieving specific goals, such as getting promoted, improving leadership skills or navigating a career change.
Who is career coaching suitable for?
Our career coaching is ideal for professionals at any stage, whether you’re early in your career, mid-level and seeking growth, or exploring a new direction. It’s also beneficial for individuals returning to work or managing significant change in their working life.
How many coaching sessions will I need?
We recommend starting with a minimum of four sessions to gain traction, though many clients opt for between six and twelve depending on their goals. There’s no obligation to commit long-term, we work at your pace and on your terms.
What happens during a coaching session?
Each session is tailored to your objectives. You’ll review progress with your coach, address current challenges, and agree on next steps. Sessions typically last between one and two hours and are held weekly or fortnightly, depending on your needs.
Can coaching help with specific skills like leadership or communication?
Yes. Career coaching can focus on targeted areas such as leadership development, team management, communication, confidence, or handling workplace stress. Your coach will work with you to identify and strengthen the skills most relevant to your goals.

Absolutely. All coaching sessions are confidential and provide a safe, professional space for honest discussion and self-reflection.
