I’ve worked as a quailed English teacher for 16 years, as well as tutoring vulnerable young people and educating Looked After Children. I also teach employability skills to adults. In 2017 I decided to begin training as train as a counsellor so I could continue to support people in a different role as I could see there was a great demand for services that focussed on mental health.
By 2020 I was qualified hypnotherapist and in my final year of training, excited to be working towards my level 4 advanced diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling and my level 5 professional diploma in psychotherapeutic practice. Then suddenly, due to the pandemic, I couldn’t work with clients one to one and I was swamped (like many people) with home schooling and working from home too. That was until I met with the TLC team and everything changed.
They arranged for me to undertake counselling with their clients via zoom which was a new way of working for everyone but one that has been really successful. I was delighted to have the opportunity be working with a company that is so person-centred and dedicated to supporting and empowering people to take their next steps in life.
The team are such a lovely group of people who are talented and caring (although the final question about scones was nerve wracking – they have very clear opinions on scones!) and the work they do with clients has been transformational for so many lives.
Over 250 practice hours later, I’m now fully qualified with and excited to be taking the next steps in my counselling career. I’ve worked with TLC clients on a wide range of issues, from anxiety and stress to bereavement and confidence building…So thank you TLC for giving me the opportunity to develop my skills and work with your excellent company!
