Institute of Counselling Reviews

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.

Loved the course, I feel I am prepared now for the next step in my learning.

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.

The course was exactly 'what the doctor ordered' for me - it was exactly what I hoped that it would be and it was very easy to follow. There was plenty of information and good practical exercises as we went along. The assignments focussed the mind and proved fairly challenging. The review questions of each lesson at the end were a great way of seeing how much I had actually learned - and I was pleasantly surprised!!

I only gave the course materials a 4 as I prefer to study with hard copies.

Useful course, very enjoyable

Course materials were clear and understandable and extremely informative. I struggled a little with TMA initially as I had no idea how to present one or the format but once I asked for help I was given all the information i needed and continued confidently.

Found it really interesting if a little old fashioned in places. It could probably do with a refresh!

I enjoyed and learnt from this course.

The course materials were excellent, i fell like i have learned a lot not just about Christian counseling in general, but also about myself. The course has allowed me to know myself better and even helped me to work out a few problems i didn't know i had within my own life. The support and feedback that i got from my tutor was nothing short of excellent and i am very happy with the course! I just feel so privileged that i was able to take part in it, thank you.
