Describe your ACAP experience: I studied at Sydney campus. It was a life changing experience. I had exceptional trainers over the 24 modules I studied. Everyone was very supportive and the choice of modules allowed me to undertake training that interested me.

How has ACAP benefited you personally or professionally? I have grown enormously both professionally and personally from my experience at ACAP. When I arrived at ACAP on the very first day I felt like I had come home. (A bit cliche I know but this is how it felt).

How have you used your qualification? I have since gone on to be a Certified Transactional Analyst (Psychotherapy) and completed a Masters of Applied Psychotherapy at UTS. I have been in private practice since I started at ACAP in 1997.

Are you in private practice / own business? Yes

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.
