The Counselling Student Begins a Blog

Hi,
my name is Ghita Andersen and I am a counselling student from Queensland Australia.

I began my diploma in counselling earlier this year - and since then I have learned so many things about the dynamics of relationships and baggage - that I wish I could have understood many years ago. So, it is with this in mind that I share some of my learning with you in the hope that it helps you with your studies or relationships, or to feel 'normal' - with less monkey chatter ego and more self-acceptance.

As I learn, so will you!

"Without a foundation of self-love, it is pointless to expect someone else to fill the love."

Please note that while it is not a requirement to hold a degree in counselling (in Australia) to practice this helping method, I offer helpful hints that are designed for other students and do not offer professional help in this blog.

You are responsible for your own life and I am not responsible or liable for your actions.
