“I wanted to thank you for the fantastic help and support you have provided me with whilst I have been in the process of reassessing my career options. I have found your approach to careers counselling has far surpassed my expectations; not only have I learned about what careers would suit my abilities and interests, I have also learned so much about myself which I feel I can apply to all aspects of my life. In the past I have paid for careers programmes, but none have had the friendly, flexible, and tailored approach you offer. I have been so pleased with my experience I have recommended you to all my friends and colleagues”.

“After 15 years in management, I thought I understood team dynamics. The FIRO® assessment revealed blind spots in my leadership style that, once addressed, significantly improved my team’s performance and cohesion.”

“I am so glad we found Denise Taylor online! We were looking for someone to help our teenage son to find his way forward. We were aware of the Highlands Ability Battery because our daughter used them previously. We were very impressed with Denise’s personal and professional manner of working with our son. I only wish we had known about Denise before; I am sure our daughter would have received much more from the process had she used Denise”.

“Your professional experience and qualifications made a big difference in my search for a coach, but from the sessions I was pleased to learn that you had made a major career change and had real experience of the challenges faced in doing so – I felt that I was working with someone who had not simply changed career to become an “instant” coach, as was the case for many coaches that I researched”.

“Thank you so very much for last week’s session; I found it immensely useful. I am now really calm about the situation and also quietly excited about the future too. I know I couldn’t have got to this point without your help. Thanks again.”

“Thanks for helping me over the past few months to understand myself better and helping me realise what type of career would suit my abilities, interests, and values. The programme has also helped me understand certain aspects of myself that I can develop in future, both in my personal life and professional career. Making a career change in one’s mid-thirties can be a daunting task, but the path ahead seems far less daunting, thanks largely to your professional and caring advice”.

“Denise is an expert in her field. Her service is personal to each individual and this is what makes her programmes such a success. After 8 years of searching I have finally got back my life and a vision of a remarkable life and career at that. I owe this to Denise’s expert guidance. I will never forget all that you have done for me”.
Sylvana
“Excellent method to pinpoint areas of personal growth and broaden the skills to understand and best deal with characters different from your own. The HAB was the high point for me because it was a true and fair test of what comes naturally to me. I have been able to identify what my strengths could be if I nurtured them. To me, you were very good. I would recommend it to anyone who was not sure what they were good at, an also who needed help in showing what direction to take”
