Morag Chisholm was 67 when she completed an MA in relationship therapy and began to work as a counsellor. “The wonderful thing was that at no point did anyone suggest I was too old,” she says. “I could use all the knowledge, life experience and wisdom accumulated over the years to benefit others.”
Chisholm, who works for Relationships Scotland in Dumfries and Galloway, will turn 80 in December and still has clients. As well as the degree, her inventory of “what I have done since 60” includes a divorce and a marriage, followed by bereavement when her third husband died four years ago of cancer.
