I just wanted to thank you for the Accidental Counsellor Training in Smithton. The session has already had a significant impact on my own life — I also shared your teachings with my son who has anxiety. I know this course will change my life and that of the clients I am working with.
Melinda, Multicap Tasmania
I tried some techniques with a Year 8 girl who had been reluctant to open up to anybody. I felt 100% more confident — before I knew it, 45 minutes had passed and I had said barely anything. Very powerful tools.

The day you gave us had the most fabulous impact. When I sent out the invitation to access the online modules, I had so many emails expressing gratitude — "it was the best PD I have ever experienced" — over and over again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
