Experience at ACAP:
The Graduate Diploma at ACAP was truly experiential and a wonderful way to learn, not just about counselling but also about one's self. The journey I undertook at ACAP was truly life affirming and changed my life direction forever.

How has ACAP benefited you personally or professionally?
My placement uncovered a passion for sex therapy. I have found the area of counselling where I fit well and where my skills are best utilised. It is a fascinating, important and much needed service in our community today.

How have you used your ACAP qualification?
I am currently undertaking Masters in Sexual Health at Sydney University and seeing clients privately.

In private practice: Yes
