Testimonials

Working with any individual discussing future hopes and dreams is a very personal and sensitive business. To protect individuals, full names have not been used in this list of testimonials from our clients.

The sessions with Abi completely transformed my unmotivated, drifting 18 year old stepson into a confident young man with goals and dreams and he subsequently applied for — and has been accepted on — a degree course of his choice. There is no doubt in my mind that the sessions with Abi were the turning point for him. His father and I are very grateful to her — worth every penny and more.

Your help has been wonderful and I think our son has found great strength from you, a stranger who has the ability to know him so well and believe in him.

It was a pleasure to meet you Abi and we value your feedback both verbally and written.  I am sure our daughter will use the feedback both personally and professionally.

Parent from The Grange School

Abi essentially creates opportunities. She enables you to consider which career will satisfy your ambitions and make the best use of your talents. She empowers you through developing skills and attitudes that will strengthen your employability. And finally, she allows you to realise the paths you must take to achieve your life goals.

Lower Sixth Form student at Knutsford High School

Thank you for all your sterling work with our son.

Altrincham Grammar School for Boys Parent

Thank you for helping Sarah to focus her thoughts and direction in her A level choices, at 16 it is very difficult to know what is the right path and she had been agonising over this for some time. Our discussions coupled with the in depth assessment have proved to be very worthwhile and enabled Sarah to make a positive decision in her selection; rather than using a more negative elimination process with no clear end game in sight. I thought you might be interested to know that, following on from our discussions, Sarah has already arranged work experience in one of the disciplines we discussed - PR and has found that she has an interest to pursue this further, she will be looking at others. All in all, a very worthwhile experience, I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others (and have done so already for my nephew — expect the call!). Potential Directions does what it says on the tin!
