“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”.

“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.”

“The effort you’ve put in on my part, with the support you offered, and continue to offer, after all our scheduled meetings had taken place, has been above and beyond my expectations. I doubt I could have found such professional and caring guidance or such a comprehensive approach, in that you go way beyond what is available elsewhere, and I did a good deal of research before choosing you”.   

“For years I was unhappy in my profession but was never brave enough to speak to someone like Denise. When I finally did, it was such an eye-opener and enabled me to realise that staying in my job would have only meant continuing to be unhappy with what I was doing. I found the Highlands Assessment particularly useful since it gave me the answers to my two main questions: (1) Am I suitable for the job I am currently in? and (2) Am I suitable for the new job I am proposing to take up? With Denise’s help, I have now decided to quit my old job and start my 3-year training to become a golf coach… and, whilst this will result in a temporary financial set-back, I am confident that this will lead to me being happier with life in the long-run.”

“You have always been frank and open in our discussions, an excellent sounding board for career frustrations. The Highlands Battery was really useful, as well as a very informative exercise. It confirmed many things that I already knew and gave me confidence that I wasn’t as bad a judge of my own character as I was beginning to feel I might be. The Myers Briggs and Strong Interest Inventory rounded off the package, showing me that many of my career inclinations were correct, while broadening the field of options with jobs that I might not have ordinarily considered”.
