You took the time to understand me; your service wasn’t a conveyor belt but a support and guide”.

“While working with Denise I found her knowledge and professionalism to be of a high standard. Together with great warmth, care and support, her guidance was marvellous through a rather tumultuous time in one’s life. During the course and after, I gained so much clarity as to where my strengths, skills and interests lie which has enabled me to take the appropriate steps towards a fulfilling career and life. I admire Denise’s work thoroughly and have recommended her to several people. I would not hesitate to say that, by working with her your quality of life could only improve as you learn about yourself with caring support. She is a wonderful woman. I’ve never met her but feel close to her all the way here in Australia.”   

“The whole experience gave me invaluable knowledge as relates to my career path and where I should look to focus my professional intentions. I feel more confident that I can follow my dreams and will be successful as you have helped to identify my skills and natural abilities necessary to do this. I would eagerly recommend working with Denise to anyone who was unsure of what they wanted to do with their career, whether this is a first career or a career change much later”.

“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”

“I would like to say how helpful I found our meeting, especially the fact that it reassured me that the reason that I find some aspects of my work so difficult and stressful isn’t because I’m less intelligent or just not trying hard enough but that my strengths lie in other areas – so that’s given me more confidence and acceptance of how things are. I’m also happy to ask others how they manage their workload or even how they cope with specific teenage challenges – just to find out whether their coping strategies might be helpful to me.”

“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”.
