Welcome to Sherridan Hughes I am a Chartered Occupational Psychologist with nearly 28 years experience in Career Counselling and Assessment. You may have seen me quoted in the media. The vast majority of my clients come through recommendation, both from previous clients and from referring therapists, counsellor and psychiatrists. The ripple effect often results in me seeing whole families, their flatmates, work colleagues, friends and even, in due course, their off-spring!
I truly believe that my model is unbeatable; indeed, many of the ostensibly well-qualified and experienced career consultants whom I have trained over the years have been astounded by the power, effectiveness and comprehensiveness of the approach. Clients are amazed that within a day, I am able to find solutions to career dilemmas which have been puzzling them for years.
What I Do I will consider the type of career, role, organisation and level which is likely to suit you. My tools are psychometric measures exploring interests, values, aptitudes (seven types of reasoning) and personality. These enable me to identify what motivates you, what are likely to be strengths and to come most naturally, and what kind of person you are (impacting preferences, and potential role and organisational matches).
Many organisations use narrative reports which cannot place results into the context of one s life situation, and which mostly fail to cross reference motivation, ability and personality factors. For example, I have seen a computer-generated report suggesting that someone could consider clinical psychology or investment banking as potential careers (no consideration of values), or that a person might explore becoming a motorcycle courier or a pilot (no consideration of suitable level).
Available Programmes My psychological training is valuable in the counselling component of the day; I explore why you have made decisions to date, the impact of others and personality on choices, current circumstances, future aspirations and practical possibilities. Many clients are prompted to come by a life trauma, e.g. a life threatening illness, death of someone close, burn-out and breakdown, redundancy or divorce, and many say I wish I had come years ago!
Brief details are given below, but do explore the detailed descriptions and fees on the tabs above, to decide which service would best meet your requirements:
The Career Design Programme is designed for under 25 year olds. It can include advice on A levels, Vocational courses, Apprenticeships, Degree choices and potential Career options.

The Redundancy Programme, as the description suggests, is appropriate for redundantees needing to re-evaluate and self-market.
The Perfectionist s Programme considers the implications of perfectionism in the work-place and provides the best guarantee possible that a career is suitable, even if just rubber stamping an idea which you may have been deliberating on.
