What I'm looking for

I am looking for a supportive environment where I can grow as a counsellor and make a positive impact.

As a newly qualified counsellor, I am excited to embark on my first full-time role in the field. My diverse work experience across various sectors has equipped me with a unique skill set that I believe will be beneficial in a counselling environment. I hold a degree in Mathematics, which has honed my analytical skills, and I am adaptable, quick to learn, and thrive in team settings.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in medical administration and customer service, which has enhanced my communication and time management skills. My recent qualifications in therapeutic counselling reflect my commitment to this new path, and I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills to support individuals in their journeys towards mental well-being.
