“My course of therapy finished a week early as I have made such strides in rebuilding who I am. I am still engaged with Work In Mind, on a weekly basis, and my adviser is simply fantastic at what she does! I’ve had jobs brought to mind which I wouldn’t have considered and the little nudges and encouragements have kept my motivation high, resulting in a record week of six job interviews, and two promising leads.” – Client of the service.
