What our tutors/mentors say:
"This role has been highly adaptable around my ongoing training as an Art Psychotherapist. We are given a lot of independence and trust in how we work, while still having regular check-ins and support from the wider team. I have particularly valued these check-ins because feedback is genuinely listened to and acted upon."
