‘I’m an occupational therapist because of my experience as a carer.’

‘I became a carer when I was 8 years old. I don’t see it as a label, I see it as an aspect of my life, my personality. Caring for my mum has enriched my life a lot.’

'I don’t feel as though I’m being burdened. I love my mum all the same.'
