Certificate in Counselling Reviews

The course, if taken seriously as a basis for one's own study, was much better than I thought it would be. The saving grace of the entire course was the quality of the tutor! Dr Murphy was incredibly generous with her time and her academic advice. She turned this course into an extremely rigorous, interesting and enjoyable course. I am not sure that true empathy can be taught or explained and from what I have seen of the physical courses on offer at universities, this course offers a serious alternative for anyone who is self motivated and possess the ability to read people. By way of constructive criticism, the materials need to be reviewed and brought back into synergy and some explanations updated and expanded. I am incredibly grateful to Dr Murphy, Alan and Urska and wish them all the best for the future.

I was impressed with the course contents, assignments and responses generally.

Really insightful course that's provided some foundational knowledge surrounding counselling skills in practice. Dr Marie Murphy was an incredibly helpful marker who always provided great feedback and insight (while always answering any questions I had). Highly recommend.

Good, really interesting and was grateful for the quick turn around on my assignments after them being sent to a different tutor. Very grateful and feel really good about the course and getting it completed.

Some of the websites are not working anymore, Institute needs to update them.

Very clear and precise as required particularly by distance-learning courses. Clear instructions and the content was an excellent refresher course for me after 15 years of counselling.

The content was very clear and informative. I loved that there was no jargon which can be very daunting when you have no experience of counselling. Each section provided help with suggested reading or audio files to listen to. I found this particularly helpful.

The course material was well-structured, the exercises made sense.

Very educational and taught me an awful lot.
