Jane Oakley-Lohm For many years I had an interest in counselling, so I sent off for some information from AIPC. There were challenges as I live in Alice Springs with no next door neighbour doing the same course. I found AIPC’s study support team a huge asset to me and they were all very patient with my phone calls for HELP!   I was determined to finish the course in one year. I remember setting myself a target each week of what I wanted to finish and much to my surprise, I managed to hold my target. This was a huge success for me as I hadn’t studied for over 29 years and then I hated it all those years ago.   Not only did I finish the Diploma of Professional Counselling but I also completed two advanced study majors in Grief and Loss and Relationships and Conflict Resolution. I have just started up my own business from home and in the first week of operating I have had doctors referring patients onto me. It is a great feeling to have those professionals believe not just in me, but in the AIPC Diploma.   For the clients that I have already seen I can see an improvement in them, this is after all a wish of mine come true: to help someone in need. There is no greater satisfaction in life than to see a sad face turn to a smile.   Here I would like to thank each and everyone at AIPC for assisting me through this personal journey. I made it because you genuinely cared; it showed that what you teach you also preach.
