- Karen’s help is practical, motivational, and invaluable. I would highly recommend that you engage her in career counselling.
- I’m excited about what the future will deliver for the first time in a long time.
- Karen is an active and very sympathetic listener. Her ability to recall what I'd mentioned in passing was remarkable. She instinctively knew when to intervene though and I was struck how she would get to the heart of an issue and ask me a really apt question.
- Karen listened and through conversation and exercises she set me over the sessions I discovered the areas of work I enjoy most and Karen challenged me to think about what could be possible. Karen gave very helpful feedback after each session, helped me revise my CV and we had a very thorough time exploring potential interview questions and techniques.
- I found myself talking about and exploring my employment and interests in a way I hadn’t done before which made me realise what areas I really enjoyed and was good at.
- I was nervous before my first appointment with Karen because I really did not know what to expect and knew of colleagues who had been to similar sessions and felt rather undermined and did not gain anything from the sessions. I was worried that this would be the same experience. Karen’s sessions were challenging in a very good and positive way and, I must admit, made me feel more positive about myself and my work prospects.
- I started with very vague ideas, and a general feeling of confusion and disquiet and I ended up with a clear plan and much more positive feelings, the sessions felt very relaxed and very professional, confidential and open. I felt able to discuss anything and yet they were also focused which enabled me to get the results I wanted out of them.
- The sessions were really good and I am still feeling very positive as a result!
