I have some good news :)
I've just realised that in the business of last week I forgot to post my good news, and given how much of Live Journal is people whinging and moaning and "woe is me"ing, I feel the need to address the balance :)
So on Thursday morning I went to visit a GP surgery to see a contact there who I've met briefly at Metanoia and had a talk about me doing a voluntary placement with him and he's happy for me to start seeing clients as soon as I can get myself organised.
I've spoken to my boss and he's willing to let me shuffle things around so that I work 4 days a week, plus a couple of extra hours spread over those days, and I can be paid 4.5 days salary so I shouldn't loose too much cash AND I will be going part time :D
I've spoken to the guys at Met and they've given me the nod for it too, so all I need to do now is get supervision started, get my tutor to fill in a form saying I can do it and arrange myself £5,000,000 worth of Professional Indemnity Insurance and then I will be ready to see real live clients :)
Right now I'm really really excited about this, which I know because my shoulders feel full of energy, and I know that on the morning of my first client I'll be sick to the pit of my stomach, but it looks like it's actually going to happen.
I'm going to become someone's therapist. OMG!!! :D
