Meet Elaine, aspiring children's counsellor pursuing her dream career at Warrington & Vale Royal College

Meet Elaine Clarke, a Level 4 Therapeutic Counselling student at Warrington & Vale Royal College. After earning her Level 3 counselling qualification with another provider, Elaine decided to invest in her Level 4 studies close to home at our Winsford campus.

Elaine Clarke Level 4 Counselling Student

Elaine works with individuals who have autism and mental health challenges, making the skills she's gaining on this course highly transferable to her role. These techniques have made a significant impact on her daily work. She shares: “The techniques I’m learning have truly benefitted both me and the people I support.

She is especially appreciative of her tutor, Gemma. Elaine says: “Gemma is amazing! Being dyslexic, I sometimes struggle with certain learning methods, but she ensures the materials are accessible and tailored to my needs.”

It’s not just Gemma who has made a difference for Elaine; she also values the extra learning support provided for adult students who haven’t been in a classroom in years: “We even had a workshop with Camron, one of the college’s learning technologists, for extra help with Google Classroom. It was massively appreciated!”

Upon completion of her Level 4 course, Elaine plans to progress to the Level 5 Children and Young People Counselling course offered at Warrington & Vale Royal College, with hopes of pursuing a career as a children’s counsellor. We’re thrilled to be supporting Elaine on her journey and can’t wait to see her future achievements!
