What do you love most about your job?
When I was 17 years old, our high school counsellor introduced me to a book called 'I'm OK. You're OK.' and I knew then that's what I wanted to do with my life....help people feel OK about themselves. I didn't realize it would eventually lead me into the counselling industry, but am so glad it did! I sometimes think, if I couldn't encourage someone else, I wouldn't know what else to do. I'm definitely in my niche, with counselling.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Starting up my own business came at a time when our small city of Dubbo, only had 2 other counsellors operating. There was definitely a need, 20 years ago, to start practicing privately. So I opened up Grace Counselling Service in 1999 and have been serving the greater communities in the Central West region since then, and more recently,now, On Line.
