Staff Stories
-
I pursued a career in psychology because I wanted to help people and to make a difference. I was anxious at first that having a different background, being introverted, and not having English as a first language would put me at a disadvantage, but Causeway has given me the hope and courage to continue working in the field that I love.

As someone who seeks a deeper meaning to life’s experiences rather than the usual ‘how’s this weather’ level conversations, Causeway is the perfect foundation for my work. This role has helped turn my past negative life experiences into a tools for better understanding the journeys of so many people who have made a series of less than desirable decisions.

Causeway have given me the space and support to grow beyond anything I ever dreamt was possible. The welfare of our service users and staff is our primary priority, and I am so happy to be with a charity that puts so much emphasis on this. This is absolutely the right job and the right organisation for me.
