Thank you for your support. Had I not spoken to you on that day about my options and what could have been done, I would have given up on my course because that tutor was not helpful to me at all. Your support gave me the strength I needed to fight for my place in the counselling world and in doing so I was able to sign up with the Association of Christian Counsellors. I have now passed my exam and have almost finished my 100 hours of client work and I can honestly say I have found my tribe in counselling.Service user
