My focus in on helping individuals build self awareness and to realize and achieve their career goals and career happiness.

I also work with organizations on career development, career coaching and redundancy counselling using the Highlands Ability Battery so that individuals can manage their own careers and maximise performance and job satisfaction.

I am enthusiastic about helping people to get the best from themselves, others and their careers but am also caring and understanding of the issues and challenges change can bring. I have been told I am a good listener and I am committed to providing a professional but enjoyable service.

"I really learn about myself and what I really wanted from my career. Through career counselling with Diana and the use of the Highlands Ability Battery I gained so much confidence to believe that I could achieve a better work life for myself."

"Thank you so much for your help in allowing me to find my new career path. I no longer dread going to work and feel I have found something I can truly excel at."

"I was unhappy in my chosen career but had no sense of the direction I wanted to move in. Working Career have made a real difference to my self-awareness and helped me target potential career changes to investigate further. The Highlands Ability Battery was the part of the course I found most interesting and useful. It has really helped me to understand the reasons why I found my current position such an uphill struggle. It has also helped me focus on my strengths and given me a much stronger sense of direction in alternative careers to consider and investigate. Diana´s constant support and friendly/approachable manner was also a huge help throughout the process."
