Why study with Institute Of Counselling

We have been delivering courses to our students since 1986 – in that time over 35,000 students worldwide have used our courses to enhance their helping skills and advance their career prospects. Our longevity is testament to the quality of our courses and support.
Etablished 1985

The Diploma in Coaching and Mentoring course equips you in the knowledge and skills of coaching and mentoring and the models and approaches that are used within this field. We also have a range of singular mentoring and coaching courses available.

Mentoring and coaching qualifications are typically rooted in psychology and explore commonly applied models and techniques used in organisational settings. Coaching is associated with team building, executive coaching, management coaching, life-skills coaching, career development and personal and professional development.

Mentoring is associated with positive personal and professional growth, career outcomes and development. You will learn the skills, techniques and in depth insights of mentoring. In the role of mentor, you will contract and develop with your client a highly personal yet professional relationship that is creative, dynamic and intentional resulting in a positive outcome.

Mentoring enables the individual to develop a greater sense of fulfilment, role identification, internal authority and identity, that results in a greater level of competency and personal satisfaction.

Marie was very helpful and advice offered readily via email or zoom. I would have preferred more interactive online work but other than that the course work easy to follow.

Certificate in Grief and Bereavement
Having returned to learning I found that learning on-line was initially quite difficult. Personally in the early stages when it took me some time to get into my stride a telephone call from the institute to inquire how things were going would have been supportive. My tutor was very supportive and encouraging.

I found the course really easy to follow and have really enjoyed completing it. My tutor has been very helpful, I have enjoyed communicating with Marie all through the course, and my assignments have been returned to me in a timely manner. The only point I would make (which is not a complaint), is that I really enjoyed watching the videos of counselling taking place, and I would have enjoyed watching more of these.
