Shortly after graduating in 2012 Joe joined a local charity as a volunteer counsellor working with individuals with moderate mental health issues. He continued to study because he had a particular interest in social and mental health care and completed several additional short courses. He also gained a qualification allowing him to teach psychology, counselling and psychotherapy to adults.

In 2013 Joe joined a national mental health charity where he is currently employed on a part-time basis as a counsellor and psychotherapist working with people experiencing problems ranging from mild-depression to more severe conditions such as dissociative identity disorder. As part of his continual development, Joe is currently completing a City and Guilds qualification in ’Working with Mental Health in the Community’.
