I am a trainee counsellor studying at the University of Edinburgh. Even though, I don't have any professional experience, for most of my life I have lived with elderly people and taken care of them as I used to live with my grandparents. I have a very understanding, patient and compassionate nature which makes me get along well with people. I understand the psyche of how the elderly work and know they require attention and companionship especially in the time of COVID. I would not take this as a job but something I feel strongly towards because bringing a smile on someones face and being there for them will give me immense happiness and satisfaction. My profession as a counsellor, already enables me and makes me have qualities to be able to listen, understand and empathise with how it feels to be experiencing any type of emotions or just even living alone wanting some company. I aim to build a strong bond with any of my clients and be there for them as much as I can.
