“Unlike other assessments which are largely about self-assessment I “believe” this one. I really feel that I can make a difference based on what I have learned. I value the results highly and am very pleased that I took it; however, a large part of this was your excellent approach in the feedback”.

“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.”

“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.”

“What this counselling with you helped me achieve was to be surer of myself and that it was ok to want the things I wanted however grandiose or simple they were. The values exercise was especially revealing. I’m very glad I did it. Thank you!” .

“You are an excellent advisor and facilitator, and I would not hesitate to recommend you to friends, relatives, or colleagues. It was great to work with you, Denise. I really appreciated your supportive, non-judgmental, ‘can do’ attitude to addressing what had initially felt like a real tangle of issues.”

“Denise made me feel at ease so I could talk to her about anything! Of course with Denise’s experience as a careers counsellor she could offer great advice, as well as make you laugh and see that you do have a lot of qualities about yourself, and how you can put them to practice. I feel more focused on what I want to do now and will be meeting with Denise again to help me through the processes!”
Rebecca Gorman
“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”.

“Thank you very much for our meeting on Friday and your feedback and advice. I feel that my abilities have been defined and acknowledged properly for the first time, which is down to you, and it gives me something structured to use to make a statement to myself about me, which is great. I feel you explained it in a very balanced and accepting way, although I’m wrestling with the idea of being introverted because I’ve always been encouraged by my parents to fight against that aspect of myself, even to conquer it, so I am going to have to I have a bit of work to do on/with myself in this area to stop me from feeling it is a negative trait and deal with it better. It was very helpful to hear your own personal experience of it, as I don’t think I’ve ever discussed it constructively with anyone”.

“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”

"The transformation Denise achieved for me is remarkable. As a professional with 15+ years of experience, I was struggling to articulate my value in interviews. Denise helped me refocus my approach, enabling me to communicate my extensive experience concisely and effectively. Her coaching was instrumental in securing my new executive role."
