PACFA Celebrates Achievements of Counselling and Psychotherapy Graduates
The Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) is proud to recognise the outstanding achievements of graduates from PACFA accredited counselling and psychotherapy programs across Australia.
Through PACFA’s annual National Awards Scheme, we acknowledge and celebrate students who have demonstrated exceptional academic performance, professional commitment and readiness to contribute to the counselling and psychotherapy profession.
Each year, PACFA invites our accredited education providers to nominate high-achieving students for the Outstanding Graduate Award. Award recipients receive a certificate of recognition and a complimentary one-year PACFA registration, supporting their transition into the profession as Certified Practising Counsellors.
Following a review of the nominations, 17 students have been selected as the 2025 award recipients. PACFA warm congratulates each recipient on this significant achievement and is delighted to share a selection of photos showcasing some of these inspiring graduates receiving their awards.
We extend our sincere thanks to PACFA committee members and leadership volunteers, Dr Sonam Pelden, Jennifer Loola, Menaka Cooke, and PACFA’s Head of Education, Nghi Robinson, for representing PACFA at award ceremonies and presenting the awards on PACFA’s behalf.
Congratulations again to all 2025 Outstanding Graduate Award recipients.
