Thanks for the reply, I did ask for some feedback on my application form, still waiting. From what I can see academically I passed the level three without issue and my skills assessment was good. I was told by my tutor I had potential for this line of work. So my best guess is that I am mentally or/both emotionally not ready at this stage, I am not undergoing counselling at the moment although I am looking for one currently.

I do feel that I need theraphy, stumbling on various theories that I want to bring to a therapist to explore. If this is the case, then I plan on healing this year, while boosting my skills, knowledge and abilities so I can apply next year.

I have put in another application for a graduate certificate in counselling, so there might be a slim chance of hope to start over with a different set of counselling skills, while growing more this year.

I am reluctant to give up at this moment as I feel like I did well, hopefully I do get some feedback. Hoping I just didn't make the cut this year and there is still a potential future for me here.

If not then what you and Skeezyks mentioned about a different path that may be even better than my current aspiration. I'm looking toward an undiscovered and exciting future.
