Meet Gary Kay.

Back in 2017, Gary attended counselling which sparked his interest in understanding what therapeutic services can do for people.

The impact of these sessions never left him, inspiring Gary to explore psychotherapy and philosophy and, when he turned 40, he decided to apply for our Level 3 Counselling course.

Today, Gary is on an incredible journey to becoming a psychotherapist - a role which not only fascinates him, but also allows him to make a meaningful difference to others.

“Since starting the course, my partner has said ‘I’ve got the best you that I’ve ever had!’”

Gary’s story shows that it’s never too late to follow your passion.
