Ms Beno moved to the UK with her two children to reunite with her husband.
She was a primary school teacher in India, but said she never predicted how difficult it would be to find a job.
After a six-month search Ms Beno said her confidence was at its lowest, before she attended a workshop run by local charity Viva Slough.
She said it gave her confidence a boost, and helped her realise: “I am not alone, there’s people like me.”
“Most people there were like me, who took a break from their career, who were at home due to personal reasons,” she said.
