"I see clients of all walks of life and ages at COPE, with clinical diagnosis as diverse as their presenting issues. This makes it exiting and rewarding, as I am able to witness on a daily basis how Arts Therapy helps so many individual clients regain their selves and have their voice heard. Working at COPE means for me to be greeted with a smile, be respected for my expertise, feeling supported by team members, and encouraged to learn, learn, learn each and every week a bit more to keep growing my clinical profession".
