I have really enjoyed being with this team since the service was rolled out across Ireland in 2021. It's a very flexible kind of treatment for clients, which I like. Everyone on the team supports each other really well and there's great learning both from the client feedback and from my colleagues.
My favourite part about being a supporter is being there for someone through a really difficult time and seeing them learn new insights and skills is very rewarding. I often get direct messages from clients which is something I really enjoy.
