Institute of Counselling Reviews

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.

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

The course provided me with the introductory knowledge that I needed. The assignments were challenging but allowed me to demonstrate what I was learning and how I could apply it to client work. Marie Murphy was an excellent tutor and her feedback was encouraging and detailed.

I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this course, so much so that I want to continue on my counselling journey! I haven't done any learning for over 25 years and was very proud of achieving A's for all my assignments, it goes to show whatever age you are it's never too late to learn

My tutor has been great. Dr Marie is friendly and approachable. She’s been very helpful with any questions/ worries I had about my assignments. The course material is outdated. The references to other resources are all mostly out of date. I wish there was an access to an online library as this would help with accessing materials for assignments and expand the knowledge. However, the course is suitable for working professionals and it can be easily completed outside of work.

Really enjoyed the course and looking forward to the diploma .

I found the course very beneficial and the content was excellent. My tutor was very responsive, supportive and encouraging.

The course was very challenging ,intense and inspiring. I enjoyed it immensely and I am very grateful to have been part of this rewarding project.

I enjoyed the course and look forward to moving into the next section and learning more. The online aspect very convenient give I work. My tutor Dr Murphy was prompt and gave good feedback. I would recommend a more concise and clear 1-2 page document on expectations for assessments, assignments and dates, with clear documentation and labelling, separate to other materials, as I found this information a little disjointed to find. Otherwise very enjoyable module.

Fabulous course! Thank you!
