A few years ago I reached the age of 40 and started questioning where I was going and what I was doing with my life. I had most things that I had ever wanted so why wasn't I completely satisfied? I had worked clerically in the medical field for 10 years and when I examined why I'd stayed in this field for so long, I realised that it was the patient contact and care that I really enjoyed and that working with people with terminal or chronic illness held a particular interest for me, but I wanted to do more for them. That was when I thought of counselling, and I very hesitantly made enquiries about the College's Diploma course which I commenced in November 2003.

Having recently successfully completed the Diploma of Professional Counselling with your organisation, I thought that I would take this opportunity to tell you of some of my life experiences and how I came to complete the course.

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.
