“Last night I went to bed on a bit of a buzz, what a fantastic phone call! You are really good about what you’re doing” .

“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!”

“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.”

“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”.   

“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.”

“Thank you so much for your help, guidance, enthusiasm, fabulous knowledge, and overall positive and energetic attitude. I know that I made the right decision to use you as my careers coach and I shall recommend you to anyone who I speak to who is not sure what to do with their career”.

“I found you a powerful listener who asked thought provoking questions” .
