Institute of Counselling reviews

The course was well elaborated and clear to understand.

I found the course encouraging, challenging and relevant to my situation. It was laid out well and easy to read. It also included plenty of other suggested reading should I want to follow anything up.

Course provided exact information I wanted to learn and was fit for the purpose I wanted. It was invaluable to study the first module - Counselling to learn the models and purpose of counselling which I was then able to relate to the bereavement part. The course challenged my understanding and the way I would respond. I have learnt to read between lines, to consider what peopel are not physically saying, not just to rely on the physical word spoken.

Over all it is all worth it, i am so lucky and blessed to get such opportunity. Being equipped is aomething that will never taken away from you by anyone.

The recommended extra reading was incredibly useful ,even more practical than the course notes themselves .The course content was set up great though and the frequent evaluative questions and mini-courseworks were good for feedback and tracking progress and understanding

This was a skills based course and it really helped in m volunteer work.

This came just at the right time in my career and has helped develop my future

Having done a certificate in counselling before, I found the content and materials of the Institute of Counselling very rich.

The whole content was very clear and understandable,it was also very easy to read and understand.

Some of the course content could do with an update. The materials used for some modules are not as current as they could be. Many of the assignments specify that our references need to be focused on those published within the past 10 years, but the course notes almost don't meet that requirement themselves.
