Recent comments on the impact of my work with clients:

'Pru was amazingly helpful and professional and practical when it came to understanding and analysing our son's career path quandaries. She has provided him with a much more focused way forward and he now has a real sense of purpose not to mention relief that he has a plan! '

-Mother of A level student at BHASVIC

"Pru's advice to Ella on her Personal Statement for University was invaluable to all of us. It also really helped her to focus on her choice of University in terms of what she wanted from the course. We all much appreciated her help to Ella."

"I just thought I would send you an email to say how grateful I am for your advice and guidance 3 years ago. I have finished my degree at York St John university with a 1st class honours and have absolutely loved my time here. It was definitely the right choice for me and for what I needed, so thank you for encouraging me to apply!!

Best wishes,

Lottie" (now employed in graduate level post)

"After several lacklustre attempts to write my personal statement for economics back in 2012, I spent one session with Pru who soon helped me realise that I didn't want to study economics at all! That was unsettling to say the least but Pru helped me plan a gap year and pointed me towards an internship that was fantastic experience and now looks great on my CV. I then went on to study Management at a top 10 University but decided after a year that it wasn't for me.

 

Once again I was confused and directionless.  Pru stepped in to avert the crisis. We discussed my options and interests at length and I changed tack. I am now on track for a first class degree in Computer Science and am thoroughly enjoying my course.

Hi Pru, thank you so much for your help with my personal statement all those years ago. I am currently on track for a first in Product Design at Bournemouth, and your advice certainly helped me on my way to this point. I revisited my personal statement before my placement, and some of the focus that you provided helped me to write the cover letters which won me interviews and eventually led to an internship at a design consultancy.Thanks Again,

Jamie

"I turned to Pru having failed to gain a single offer for veterinary school with my first application, despite what I thought was a great attempt.

 

After a hard hitting, soul searching interview with Pru's pragmatic and honest approach, we explored my choice of career and my suitability for it. Once she was convinced we were heading in the right direction she guided me to transform my application from being fairly average to stand out. Her knowledge and business like attitude, balanced with a genuine, caring understanding of young people in today's world was exactly the approach I needed.

 

My second revised application........ With exactly the same grades....... Resulted in four firm offers. I went on to study at my first choice university and am now a practising equine vet. There were a lot of people who helped me along the way but none made such a direct difference to the application process as Pru. "

"Seemingly lost about how I was going to translate my enthusiastic pick-and-mix approach to choosing A-Levels that I loved  into any sort of meaningful direction beyond results day, Pru was utterly invaluable in helping me figure out how and where I would thrive, and precisely what I needed to do to get there.

 

Pru's uncanny ability to hear out and understand your thoughts, however sporadic and confused they may be, and then distil them into salient focus points, is remarkable. She efficiently and diligently helped me to explore all my options, and once I found I wanted to read American Studies, Pru patiently supported me through the application process with an acute knowledge and understanding of how to execute what Universities are looking for. 

 

I cannot thank Pru enough for everything she has done for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is lucky enough to have the opportunity to learn from her as I have and many others already."

Bryony, 24 - now a graduate trainee

'Pru helped me to identify my skills and feel more confident in the value and abilities I can bring to the workplace. The action plan we came up with during our session helped me to get over my procrastination, and to take a more empowered and positive approach to my career choices'

Sophie, graduate job/career direction finder

​

Thanks so much for your time on Monday and for this incredibly helpful document. I was surprised and delighted to have my situation summed up so thoroughly - I thought it would just be a quick list of bulleted actions. The summary will really help me stay focused over next few weeks/months…

(follow up comment).. I thought you might like to know that I have a new job

Lewes, mid career changer

Pru has been absolutely wonderful and incredibly helpful in providing options and avenues that I did not know existed. Her knowledge and expertise is excellent and she is very approachable and understanding. Seeing Pru enabled me to understand more of what I enjoyed and in turn, deciding which path was accessible, which gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to pursue it. I am feeling positive and excited about the prospect of a new career and I am very grateful for Pru's time! I highly recommend her! :)

Pru opened my eyes to many more options I didn’t think were available. I had subconsciously limited myself.

​

There’s so much more than just the main subjects – you have to put in the effort and engage.

I’ve got a bit of a plan now, possibly for the first time ever!
