As stated earlier although the information was interesting I feel a range of media would have been more beneficial. Such as videos or even sound clips.

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.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and it has also given me an insight as to how I can manage things in my own life.

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.

I wish it was broken down more . It all felt too long somehow.

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.
