I'm Bara, a psychologist, currently pursuing my doctoral studies, while training to become a family therapist.I started volunteering at the Experience Workshop in March 2024, and since September I have been a mentor in the life of the organisation. I had never thought I would work with children before, but when I first heard about the Experience Bar, I knew I wanted to be a part of what they do. Unfortunately, I missed the deadline with my application at the time, but six months later I was able to join the team and my hunch was right, because it was well worth the wait! Every week since then, I look forward to going back to Tancsi, soaking up the family atmosphere and finding out what has happened to which child since we last met. What I love most about spending time with them is when they can get lost in a game or activity. As well as trying to give the children as many different experiences as possible, I feel that I get a lot from them and I am constantly learning from them, not only about working with children, but also about myself. At the Experience Warehouse, I have found a safe, supportive environment where I can ask questions with the children, step out of my comfort zone, grow and at the same time, for a few hours a week, give space to the child in me.
