Institute of Counselling Reviews

The course was very enjoyable and the information was presented clearly. I feel like my knowledge has greatly increased by doing the course.

I found the course interesting and enjoyed the process of studying.

The course was ideal for me as someone changing career in mid-life. It was both informative and enjoyable, with plenty of opportunities to practice learned skills and self-reflection. Marking of assignments was prompt, which helped keep my study momentum going and my tutor was readily available for queries, support and encouragement.

Quite a lot of the recommended websites were no longer in use. Being overseas access to English library facilities non existent, and so buying books to read proves expensive, and difficult to decide which would be the most useful, impossible to buy all that are recommended reading, obviously. I am pleased that I have been able to complete a counselling diploma whilst being in France, but can see why there are so few options to do these courses online. I feel that it is necessary to have class room sessions to discuss and work through subjects. Online studying of these subjects has its limits.

I gained a great deal from Grief and loss as a over arching subject. Transferring the theory to every day life and awareness has pushed me through a gate that I can never go back through. Once you know, YOU KNOW.

Useful course, very enjoyable

I sometimes found the structure of the marked assignments confusing. But if I'd had a better rapport with my tutor, I would probably have asked for clarification. I would like to add that my husband did the same course last year, and he was very happy with his tutor.

Rich, very comprehensive and easy to follow

I have never done distance learning before, but felt very motivated and supported by the tutor's feedback and the material was easy to access and well structured.

course content materials were good, my only criticism is the initial instructions were hard to understand what was expected.
