It is with gratitude that I take this opportunity to thank the College for providing a comprehensive counselling course that has built the foundations for a successful future. I commenced with nursing in 1998 but changed to early childhood teaching the following year. While pre-school teaching, I encountered many situations with children and families where I felt the desire to give more to the community, to assist people to work through their difficulties and achieve ultimate happiness within their lives. In early 2003, I enquired with a number of universities and other educational institutes as to how I could fulfill this goal of counselling children and families. The College provided the most suitable course to suit my needs, that being a broad coverage of general counselling areas, the option to specialise in Child Development and Effective Parenting, be able to study from home around my work hours and provide educational support via the telephone.
Do not give up, you can make it. It is my objective to encourage those who are currently studying with the College to continue ambitiously with confidence.
My entry into counselling began when I was diagnosed with rapidly progressing breast cancer. As a result of this experience and the personal growth that came from the challenge I set up a support website. On being inundated with contacts of varying degrees of distress I found my extensive teaching career and pastoral care knowledge was insufficient.
