Dear Marie, thank you very much for the feedback and insights I have gained in this course (through you).

Marie was very helpful and advice offered readily via email or zoom. I would have preferred more interactive online work but other than that the course work easy to follow.

Having returned to learning I found that learning on-line was initially quite difficult. Personally in the early stages when it took me some time to get into my stride a telephone call from the institute to inquire how things were going would have been supportive. My tutor was very supportive and encouraging.

The course really helped me get myself together. I registered for a course soon after losing my brother and I was going through a hard time. The tutor was really helpful in guiding and giving me some direction throughout the course

I felt the course was excellent and gave me what I needed to understand in order to complete the assignments. Having Marie Murphy as my tutor was especially beneficial.

Good insight full course . course material layout could of been clearer and easier to understand . Would of been nice if course books were provided and included in the price of course and not having to be purchased separately.

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.
