Here’s what some of our students say
I have been at TAC for almost 2 years. What I have really appreciated about my placement is the structure in place at TAC. It is efficient and well-run which provides a very "holding" and "boundaried" structure.
It also means that because there is a reception and an efficient booking system, I have always had plenty of clients providing me with the practical experience that I need.
The group supervision at TAC led by Karen Dempsey, truly supports me in developing my practice, and I am grateful for Karen’s ability to be attuned to each person in the group.
Karen encourages collaborative working and always enables me to experience in-depth exploration of my client work and my feelings in relation to it. Therefore, the insights gained for my NHS practice are invaluable and inspiring.
