That all sounds amazing - I know how you feel with regards to the job thing. I've looked into SEN roles as well as mental health support work/occupational therapy etc and even though I've got the qualifications for some of them I feel like I couldn't possibly be ready to do them. Maybe you can try volunteer work for a bit while you carry on at your dog role? I know it's not paid but you might find it's useful in boosting your confidence! Either way, good luck! I hope it all works out well.
I want to so a masters in counselling psychology, and I love anything regarding social psychology and social constructionism. I don't know if you ever studied it, but if not I'd recommend having a look into it! It's so so interesting and really changes how you look at things in the world. I could go on forever about it
