“I was going through an assessment centre/panel interview for my promotion to director in a blue-chip company and Denise helped me to get through the process successfully. I was impressed by the personal touch, experience, confidence, and insightful feedback from Denise – she knows her area.”

“I have received paid careers counselling in the past but do feel that this time, my desired outcome – a job I can truly say I love, may at long last be within my grasp. I found the Highlands Ability Battery to be a refreshingly different and useful tool which complements the knowledge I have gained about myself and my working preferences to date. It is your ability to synthesise results from the HAB, Myers Briggs and an individual’s passions and interests which I believe differentiates you from others in your field”.

“I am writing to you to thank you for sparing your time just to help me. I want you to know that I am forever grateful for all your help. I found it really helpful because you opened my eyes and showed me something I never knew about myself. He is now set to start a level 3 course in music engineering. Doing the Highlands with you is definitely one of the best choices I have ever made. I think everyone should do it, young and old, just for the sake of self-understanding and acceptance. Same goes for Myers-Briggs.”

“Thanks for your help and discussion following on from doing the Highlands and Myers Briggs tests the other week. I’m pleased to say that I have recently been successful in getting been successful in getting another physiotherapy job, and am sure that some of the stuff we did helped my confidence and presentation of myself at interview. It also helped my decision making regarding the job itself, and my options, and I am happier that I am going into a job that suits me, and that I will find challenging and stimulating. However, I have decided only to do half the working week in physio, and to pursue some other options in the rest of the week. I am hoping to enrol on a garden design course, something I was toying with before, but which I have more confidence with pursuing following the work done with you. It may or may not turn into a career, but even if it turns out to be something I do for myself, and just engages my brain in a different way it’ll be a good thing.”

“Denise helped me to transform my CV from average to great and gave me lots of good advice on how to proceed with my job search. I have come away with a new confidence and a clear strategy to follow rather than my previous, rather haphazard approach. Denise is such a pleasure to work with. I am confident of finding the right new position soon and would not hesitate to recommend her.”

“Throughout my time in your graduate scheme I have learned more about myself with each passing week, and with each meeting my confidence in my own worth has grown. The personality tests you assigned me made me realise that elements of my character that I thought were flaws are, in fact, highly desirable qualities in the right place of work … I cannot thank you enough for introducing me to the methods by which I have come to be here. Not only were our sessions educational and useful, but they were also tremendous fun.”
