“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”.

“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”.

Senior Executive
“I found my session with you extremely helpful. You listen attentively, turned negative thoughts into positive ones and helped me see there was some light at the end of the tunnel. You helped me extract the important information from my muddled mind and made very useful suggestions for possible future jobs. I found the whole experience, motivating, confidence building, informative and fun!”
Louise Jennings
“A fascinating and valuable insight into one’s strengths and abilities, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement. This will serve me well in my career and in my private life. Absolutely worth the money (even though it is a substantial investment). I am going to suggest my son (age 16) takes the test as soon as his GCSEs are over to help him in career development. Thank you!”

“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.”
Kate, Physiotherapist
“Your comprehensive career counselling has not only made finding a new job fun but has also opened my eyes to looking at new career paths I previously wouldn’t have considered. Through completing the Myers Briggs and Highlands Ability Tests I have learnt a lot more about myself. I now have a greater understanding of my personality; thus, I know what I would be good at rather than what I think I would be good at. I think what has impressed me most is the fact that you have been so incredibly supportive. You have also offered me new techniques and brilliant advice whenever I have needed it. The time and energy that you have given me over the last year is something I really appreciate. You have given me the confidence to really go out and grab my career with both hands and for the first time I am really excited about it.”
Kate Graduate temp to trainer
“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”

“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”.

“The transformation that you have achieved for me is remarkable. With your help I have learned how to prepare myself, focus on the interviewers’ questions and ensure that I communicate all the important facts concisely and effectively. You have also provided the all-important boost to my self-confidence, by building upon what I did well.”
Debbie
“I now know what I am naturally good at! Having a scientific base to the results has made it very easy for me to accept the results and have confidence in them. It is a great feeling to finally have a reason for falling short of my expectations. This will allow me to create more sustainable goals I the future to my abilities.”
