Colin Matthews: Chartered Psychologist

Career Development

Even the best of us at some time in our lives struggle to find direction in our careers. You could be a company director but feel that something needs to change to give you even more success, to get you on the next rung with regards to position, salary or company. Perhaps you are at a crossroads and need to make a decision whether to continue with your current company. Maybe you have hit that point where you are unsure that the career you chose in your late teens or early twenties is what you want to do in your 40s.

Colin Matthews has achieved success in business as a software consultant with Microsoft Corporation and with companies such as Reuters, Credit Suisse and NatWest. He changed career at 40 to become a psychologist and is now able to offer you his business and psychology skills to help you make the best decisions for you and your family.

When you contact Colin, he will give you details on how to complete various work-related questionnaires online. Once you have completed these, you will be invited to meet Colin to discuss the results.

One of the questionnaires you will be asked to complete is a personality profile. The completed profile will indicate your preferences in a working environment, for example, with respect to the amount of repetive work you are likely to enjoy, whether you prefer to work more as part of a team or on your own and so on. These preferences will enable you and Colin to consider how good a match your current (or desired) job is for you. It will also give invaluable insight as to where your strengths lie and to consider what support or training you might need.

You will be given all reports at your first session so that you have a record for yourself. These can be supplied in paper and/or electronic format.

You can simply choose to use the reports and your consultation to help you make the decisions that best suit you or you can have as few or as many additional one-to-one consultations as you feel are necessary to help you achieve your goals.

Please call or email to discuss the options and costs further.
