Make content about: Lisa retrained to counsel children
After twenty years in another career, Lisa retrained in the evenings to help school children work through their emotions.
This story
Lisa wanted to study psychology at university but lacked the required science qualifications, spending nearly twenty years working in another field. While raising her young daughter and working full time, she studied counselling in the evenings and began a placement in a school. Working with children through art and debriefing daily with a supervisor, she learned how to support pupils through their feelings.
