Leanne Lane

Graduate Diploma of Counselling

Completed: 2000

Specialisation: Counselling And Communication

Study mode(s): Sydney Campus

Fieldwork Organisation(s): Sacred Heart Hospice, Syd.

Description of your fieldwork placement(s): Great!

Describe your ACAP experience: This proved to be one of the most challenging times of my life. The educators were great and supportive, loved my time at school and the like minded people i met there.The 'personal stuff' that came up during that time was managable tho due to the environment i was in.If you couldn't find a teacher to tease things out with there was always a classmate.

How has ACAP benefited you personally or professionally? I am just more aware in my everyday life, and more proffesional as a nurse. Though have never worked in the field I don't regret taking the course

How have you used your qualification? I haven't really, :-( Teaching English and/or Nursing at the moment I do wish we had more classes( or encouragement) on how to break into industry.

I had reached a point in life where I wanted to work with people in a meaningful way. This course will allow me to use all my life experience, make a living and be fulfilled as a human being. It has given me stability in an uncertain world.
