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?

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.

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.

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

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.

Melissa
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.

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!

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).

I just wanted to say thank you to you and your team for a really worthwhile, informative and thought provoking day. I felt as though some light started to appear at the end of a tunnel.

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.

Helen
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…..

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.

Jackson
Thanks for your email. I did manage to secure a role in Transport for London in project management. And yes, it was your analytical assessment that prompted me to seek a career in project management.
I am doing well and I am gaining valuable experience in the industry. Additionally, the job comes with its pressures but I thrive in the challenges it throws at me.
Please pass my regards to Sherridan and I will one of these days pay you guys a visit. I will go online and recommend your excellent services, especially to veterans and many who are transitioning from the military to civilian life.
Thanks again and I will hope to hear from you soon.

My self-awareness was fairly good already. However, Career Analysts affirmed that having my own company is right for me and to continue with this. I have come away feeling more positive about the way I work and more in control.

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.

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.

HI and thanks… I didn’t know the significance of the report until now… 12 years on!
12 years ago I came to Career Analyst as I had just been made redundant. I remember spending an interesting day with you and did a whole bunch of tests and had a chat with someone.
Back then, I had commitments and didn’t really take on board the significance of what the report was actually telling me, nor did I listen to my gut & heart which were both saying “go for your dreams” and so I went back to Corporate, mainly to pay for our mortgage, for another 8 years.
I pulled out my report at the weekend and had to smile. The 3 key jobs recommended back then were: Executive Coach, Occupational Psychologist, Trainer. All I remember from the meeting was Occupational Psychologist and at 34, I didn’t fancy going back to Uni and re-training.
3 years ago I changed my life and walked away from Corporate – guess what I do now? Yep, Training and Coaching and I love it! I may not be earning as much as I did in my Corporate role, but I feel my life is enriched by what I do…
Just wanted to say a belated thanks to whoever helped me back then…!

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.
