Testimonials

“I just wanted to acknowledge the work you did to edit my CV and the coaching you gave me earlier this year. The CV is much better now! Our discussions were beneficial too.

Thank you for giving me the confidence to close the door on my chapter working in schools. The weekly targets/practical experiences aided me in making the decision to move in the direction of environmental charity communications jobs.”

“Before working with Tanya I wasn’t enjoying my work and felt I had reached a dead end with my career.

Tanya helped me to reimagine what is possible. She is a wonderful, insightful and dedicated career guidance counsellor. Thanks to her, I was able to rediscover my true passions and sense of purpose, and better understand my skills and limitations.

She is also extremely practical and knowledgeable, and helped me to implement the practical steps required to get to where I wanted to be.

Working with her has transformed my life and career. She helped me to succeed with my application for a PhD position. I owe Tanya an enormous debt of gratitude, and cannot recommend her more highly.”

“Tanya helped me through a very difficult phase in my life.  I wanted to step away from my career of 13 years and move towards a completely new career that would use my skills and expertise.  I had no idea how to do this, let alone how to make my CV attractive for future employers.  Tanya listened to all of my worries, asked lots of excellent questions that helped guide me through the process, and gave some good, non-judgemental advice.  After 2 months I found my perfect job and made my career change and all of this in the middle of a global pandemic!”

I found Tanya a most talented and insightful person in her role as coach. Her style and approach of communicating is very relaxed and empathic. Her wide range of knowledge and experience in giving direction exceeds her years.

“I have known Tanya for about 1 year. With her help, I secured a job in my dream pharmaceutical company. I was very lost when I first met Tanya - I got a CV polished by a CV writer and applied for a few jobs but all rejected.

The help I needed at the time was more than just sending CVs. I know a lot of people like me needing help in finding our dream jobs, and I was very lucky to meet Tanya. She asked questions that I would never ask myself.

Through her designed exercises and conversations, it became clearer and clearer what type of job will make me happy. That was the most difficult part. After that part is done, I received some help from her on CV and interview prep. The amazing thing is she keeps me on schedule for achieving my goals, so I can be one step closer to my dream job each week after we meet. She taught me how to find a job I love.

I felt very powerful through this journey as she made me realize I already have the strength and tools I need, she helped me find them and believe in myself. You will not be disappointed with Tanya if you need help with your career.”

“Tanya has been an amazing help to me at a time when I was unhappy with myself and needed someone neutral and professional to work with me on self-improvement, in both the work and personal spheres.

Tanya was excellent in our first meeting at helping me identify my different areas of dissatisfaction and bringing them out into the open.

She immediately put me at ease by not being over-bearing but listening to me whilst steering the conversation with targeted questions. Importantly, she stressed that she wasn’t the one to help me but that she would help me help myself.

Tanya then tested me on the Myers-Briggs personality spectrum and managed to link some of my problems to an incompatibility between my activities and my personality. It was a really good start to a series of conversations that focused on specific areas of self-improvement.

Tanya was excellent at distilling the essential points and suggesting ways for me to approach the problems constructively. Through her notes she also maintained a very good memory of all that was said and had been agreed, which I think is very professional.

Tanya also helped me set targets for specific actions of self-improvement and checked in on me regularly to see how I got on.

In all, it has been a very positive experience for me that allowed me to verbalise, reflect on and constructively engage with my problems. Tanya proved her qualities as a good listener and as a coach and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“I’d like to thank you. You did lots of work with me. Listened. Asked sensible questions, asked challenging questions, got me to look at things from a different perspective, provided encouragement. All invaluable!”
