Strategic Career Management for Long-Term Success
Reflect, Reassess, and Realign
Sometimes it’s not just about the next job, it’s about stepping back and evaluating where your career is headed. Our Career Management programme helps you reflect on your journey so far, clarify your goals, and create a plan that balances professional achievement with personal fulfilment.
We begin with a full review of your skills, personality, experience, and ambitions, so we can tailor the programme to your unique circumstances.
Psychometric Assessment & Career Counselling
Our approach includes a deep psychometric analysis to identify the roles and industries that align with your motivations, strengths and personality. This is followed by a one-to-one session with a qualified Occupational Psychologist, who will help you explore realistic career options and map out your next steps.
You’ll receive a detailed personal report with insights and recommendations based on your assessment.
Build Your Personal Career Plan
With a clear sense of direction, we move into self-marketing. You’ll learn how to identify career opportunities and how to present yourself confidently through CVs, applications, networking and interviews. Your advisor will help you set clear objectives, refine your approach, and launch your campaign with a strong, targeted strategy.

Jobseeker Support: How We Help You Get the Job

A CV isn’t just a list of qualifications, it’s your first opportunity to market yourself. Our consultants know exactly what employers look for and how to showcase your strengths in a way that gets noticed.
Together, we’ll craft a CV that positions you as a compelling candidate for the roles you want.
Job Search & Application Help
There’s more to job hunting than trawling job boards. We’ll show you how to identify roles through online platforms, recruitment consultants, personal networks, and direct applications.
You’ll also learn how to tailor cover letters and application forms for maximum impact.
Interview Techniques Coaching
Interviews are your chance to shine, but preparation is key. You’ll take part in a mock interview with an experienced trainer, receive feedback on your performance, and learn how to handle tough questions with confidence.
We’ll also help you master non-verbal cues, presentation skills, and follow-up techniques.

Richard
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

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.

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.

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).

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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…..

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.

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.
