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.

I finished the Diploma of Professional Counselling in 2005. The feeling of achievement I have as I look at my diploma perched in a special frame in a prominent space in my office far outweighs the anguish, worry and desperation I felt at times during study. My goal to be self employed in a phenomenal personal development business kept me motivated and focused. I created a vivid picture in my head of what that might look like and each morning I flicked through it like a slide show of a fabulous journey beyond my expectations.

I never thought I'd be writing my own success story, just like the one's I read at the beginning of my studies. About halfway through the Diploma we were living on a remote island and experienced a traumatic house fire that destroyed ninety percent of our possessions; photo's, books, personal documents, clothes. However, I willingly chose to continue my studies as it enabled me to focus on the future and move forward.
