Very useful content and I feel that I’ve learned some good methods to introduce into my practice

Response: Hi Chantal I am glad to see that you found the course materials very useful and practice focused. Can I ask why you decided to award us only 3 stars as we would like to find out what we failed to do for you and hopefully rectify things if we can - our students are at the centre of all we do and as a not for profit charity we wish to support students to our best ability.

I learnt a great deal, and gained more confidence.

Response: Hi Dawn I was glad to see that you learned a great deal on the course and your practice conference grew. Can I ask what was the issue with Boyd that meant you only gave him 3 stars - we want to learn from our mistakes if possible and so provide an even better service in the future.

Good. Easy to understand.

The notes were easy to follow, informative, and user-friendly. The assignments were very practical, relevant, and useful, and the bibliography was a great guide to further reading.

This course gave me a wonderful chance to improve my empathy skills, by getting into the mind of my clients and learning from their perspectives, as well as my ability to structure my counselling sessions better overall.
