‘I would fully recommend volunteering with Nottinghamshire Mind. My experience as a student trainee art psychotherapist at Nottinghamshire Mind has been incredibly rewarding. I have been supported by an inclusive staff team and the voluntary experience has enabled me to grow both on a personal and professional level.’
“For me, counselling was a lifesaver. I never used to talk to anyone. For years, I would keep things bottled up and then cry hysterically on my own as to not inconvenience anyone. I would hide it so I wouldn’t have to confront my thoughts and fears.”
“Sometimes it’s hard to talk to family and friends and you just need that one person who takes the time to listen.”
