Kath’s story: returning to learning at 50

Kath had always wanted to return to learning and pursue a career she truly cared about. When she turned 50, she decided it was time to take action. After a Google search, she discovered the Level 4 Therapeutic Counselling course at Warrington & Vale Royal College that aligned perfectly with her ambitions.

For many years, Kath worked in the family business, but life-changing experiences prompted her to rethink her future. These moments reminded her that life can take unexpected turns, and she felt ready to follow her passion for learning.

Kath now plans to create a holistic business offering wellbeing services. Studying at the college has been an important step towards that goal. One of the highlights for her has been meeting like-minded people who share similar aspirations. She also enjoys her classes, describing them as engaging and supportive. Her tutor, she says, is caring and always willing to help.

Reflecting on her journey, Kath shares: "I have learnt so much about myself, my personal ability, and my self-belief."
