“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”

“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!”
Rebecca Gorman
“You are an excellent advisor and facilitator, and I would not hesitate to recommend you to friends, relatives, or colleagues. It was great to work with you, Denise. I really appreciated your supportive, non-judgmental, ‘can do’ attitude to addressing what had initially felt like a real tangle of issues.”

“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”.

“Good news - I got the job! The whole process was a bit delayed, but I started in July, and it’s going well. They’re currently recruiting 2 more people so it’s bringing back interview memories! Thanks a lot for all your help!”

“The MBTI Step 2 report and your feedback call helped me to identify my strengths and weakness even better. You helped me to realize who I am and how I can use my strengths in my life. The consultation and the reports have made me understand which career paths suit me. This was my biggest problem before. I don’t want to make it sound like a bragging but after the reports and the call I have been a happier person, because I am using my strengths and trying to make my weakness better”.

“I was impressed with your relaxed and informal, yet very thorough approach. I felt that you always gave me your full attention during these meetings. The comprehensive testing at the start of the process, especially the Highlands Ability Test gave me a valuable insight into the kind of person I am. Following on from this, the way in which you guided me through the test results and helped me to come up with a workable plan was excellent. Your detailed understanding of how our personality types affect our working lives was extremely useful here. I also liked the emphasis you put on considering leisure pursuits to satisfy abilities which may not be fully used in our work”.
