“Denise you are an inspirational Goddess and you have made me love life to the full again! Your tentative manner makes me feel like I am being treated as a friend not just as a client, which has been immensely reassuring during this important change in career, and life direction. Taking the steps to get in touch with you is the best move I have made in years and it has definitely been a positive life changing experience”.

“Thank you very much for what was a supremely helpful point to focus on. It was very easy to talk to you and certainly did me good! I may be back if I decide after all to let go of that balloon (and perhaps start chasing a new one labelled “Shoe Shop” or “Writer”; I have started a short story about a shoe shop, which may be as close as I ever get! I will let you know how that goes, too.” .

“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.”
Andrew, Cheltenham
“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”.

“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!” .

"Denise kindly agreed to participate as our guest speaker in a client event we recently hosted, where she delivered a talk focused on how to make a successful transition to retirement and encouraging our audience to consider what 'legacy' they'd like to leave behind. Many found it inspiring and thought-provoking, and Denise helpfully produced a handout with various prompts to get people thinking intentionally about retirement beyond the financial planning piece. Denise's background as a retirement coach, chartered psychologist and author, coupled with her own personal experiences of life after 60, meant she was perfectly positioned to speak on this subject."

“The Highlands Battery Ability Test was very insightful. Your interpretations of the results of the test were even more helpful. I appreciate your guidance on the steps to take for satisfying the abilities and alternative career paths”.

“I thought you might like to know that I have recently gained a job with XXX within their audit department. It was a tough day, but I obviously impressed them enough to offer me a position. I’d like to thank you for the work that you have done with me. The sessions gave me the focus I required to research and perform well through the interview stages, and the CV review was incredibly valuable as it looks a million times better than it did previously.”
Isaac P
“Thank you so very much for last week’s session; I found it immensely useful. I am now really calm about the situation and also quietly excited about the future too. I know I couldn’t have got to this point without your help. Thanks again.”
