"During my time as a counsellor I have met people who haven’t benefitted from the right training and I wanted to have an impact on that and help provide good quality, ethical training for counsellors. I am now in my second year of studying for a PGCE to become a fully qualified teacher and have already secured a teaching role at NCCG University Centre."
