Being a psychologist, therapist/counsellor, social worker can be some of the toughest work out there. The stress can be overwhelming because you really care about clients and the resources can be scant which increases your stress and the possibility of servicing the needs of your clients may be minimised. You might have a huge caseload or there are not enough workers to provide your services for the number of people who require them. It can be hard.

Simultaneously the caring professions provide the most rewarding work that nothing equals the privilege of being trusted with your client’s innermost secrets, challenges or even their life.
