Institute of Counselling Reviews

I found the course really easy to follow and have really enjoyed completing it. My tutor has been very helpful, I have enjoyed communicating with Marie all through the course, and my assignments have been returned to me in a timely manner. The only point I would make (which is not a complaint), is that I really enjoyed watching the videos of counselling taking place, and I would have enjoyed watching more of these.

My tutor , Dr Marie Murphy has been incredibly supportive throughout the course. Her guidance, encouragement, and clarity made the entire learning journey meaningful and enjoyable. I truly appreciated her kindness and the way she made me feel confident in my work.

The Couple and family Counselling skills course was very meaningful for me. The material was easy to follow, my tutor was incredibly supportive and encouraging, and the institute provided a smooth and positive learning experience. I’m truly grateful for this journey

Overall the course was very informative and what is a big plus for me is using the materials as regular form CPD in keeping the most important aspects of CBT at the forefront of my support of patients.

Dr.Marie Murphy is kind and always helpful. She got back in time and gave me good pointers to improve. It was very productive and helpful in building the knowledge. Thankyou so much for your mentor ship. Best Regards .

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.

Excellent structure, easy to follow. Logical progression with the two modules in CBT. Tools to be used with real world clients and detailed explanations of when and how to use the structured techniques. Highly recommend course.

Super happy with the support and constructive feedback I hve received. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course work and experience Thank you

I have enjoyed this course very much, it has been challenging but rewarding and I would thoroughly recommend it! My tutor was very supportive and a great mentor to guide me through. The course content and materials were excellent, very informative and professional at this higher level. I would rate this course as excellent for anyone wishing to develop further their counselling and therapist skills.

I liked the structure of the course. The material was interessting and was presented very clear, and the set-up in the folder was inviting to learn. I liked that there were colourful graphics to enhance the learning experience. A great benefit is that each stutdent is assigned a personal tutor to help them through the coure. Marie Murphy was my personal tutor, she was very helpful and supportive with any questions and concerns I had. Her feedback on my written work was always encouraging and uplifting. She certainly has a great gift in tutoring and I am very grateful that Marie was assigned to me. The course content is clear and in depth. I got a good overview of CBT in general and about specific disorders and different methods used. What I was missing a little is that the content of the course material is still the same as fifteen years ago. I would have liked to see more of the newer approaches or new methods that have evolved and have enhanced CBT since then. But that is my personal preference. Over all it is a great course and I can really recommend it to others. A great benefit is that it is accredited by the ACCPH which is internationally recognised.
