Institute of Counselling Reviews

I really liked the introduction to the different counselling approaches very much, and this is one of the reasons why I chose the course in the first place. The second section was a little surprising to me in that it seemed to get into quite advanced skills very quickly although it is a basic course. Perhaps it is just my too-literal mindset but it bothered me a little that it said somewhere in the course text that advanced empathy is not for the first appointment for the client and yet the advanced empathy assignment situation was with a new client.

Perhaps some video material would help. But the theoretical aspects were very adequate. The assessment questions relevant and dynamic.

I am now on my third course with the institute and am already anticipating more.

The downloadable resources were fine; as mentioned above, the YouTube clips were a little dated and sometimes a little tricky to find.

See comment one above

The materials will continue to be relevant if after the course and dur8ng practical work.

Good course and content.

Comprehensive given examples relevant and helpful. Loads of extra reading references.

The course content and materials were of high quality. Many relevant reverences were also provide to deepen student understanding of the topics.

As per above, more variety in medium might be desirable.
