Evie brought delicious cupcakes to our monthly team meeting.

As we all work at home, these events are valuable for building relationships. We begin with coffee and a check-in, then each of us names an achievement and a focus, followed by the business part of the agenda.

Looking back,
Watching the threads grow in strength and colour...

In Module 2 of our Counselling Skills Certificate, students explore sex, gender, and sexuality, teasing out biological sex, sexual attraction, gender identity and expression.

As counsellors we aim to support people as they explore these issues.
