Many thanks for your interest regarding our courses
On behalf of the faculty, may I extend a warm welcome to you from the Institute of Counselling.
Uniquely, our courses integrate counselling theory, models and skills to enrich and enhance your learning experience. Our site is especially designed to be interesting, relevant, and above all, practical.
We offer a comprehensive range of distance and online learning: Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other helping intervention courses.
With the current emphasis in many organisations on skills training even more students are appreciating the proven flexibility of distance and online learning, with the result that our courses are now more popular than ever.The courses are both modular and student centred, ensuring your specific training needs are met.
For nearly twenty eight years we have provided counselling courses for the caring professions, voluntary sectors, and individual students, both in the UK, and overseas. From basic Certificate courses, right through to advanced two year Diploma courses, students have turned to the Institute over the years for additional professional qualifications and to develop their own personal skills.
I feel sure that on this website you will find the course to fit your unique individual requirements. I look forward to welcoming you into the student body of the Institute.

Certificate in CBT 2 (Credit rated at SCQF level 8)
i found this course and the material very informative, lots of personal tasks which helped to develop my knowledge and understanding of CBT.
My tutor was helpful and would give direction if I was unsure of something.
I feel able to begin to introduce CBT into my own work with more confidence.

Diploma in Youth Counselling
Given that the course is entirely distance-learning and not in-person, the quality of tutoring including communication, advice and feedback is excellent. The course materials are excellent and provide links to all the essential texts for the subject. I feel as though I have learned a great deal over the course of my studies and it has enhanced my practice and enabled me to move forward in my professional aims.

Certificate in Christian Counselling
The course material is in-depth, allowing me to reflect on and consider the role of a Christian Counsellor at the basic /Introductory level.
I received detailed and positive feedback from the Tutor, Marie Murphy, which demonstrated my ability and skills to pursue the role of a Christian Counsellor. Marie's feedback has helped to guide me in this role.
Thank you.

Certificate in Couple and Family Counselling Skills
Dr Murphy made my study for diploma in Couple and Family Counselling really interesting, she is very honest and approachable. I really looked forward for all her comments and do take them on board and will implement them in my ministerial role.
I just want to say thank you for helping me to see my hidden potentials and to see situations and individuals from a different point of view to which I formerly held.

Certificate in CBT 2 (Credit rated at SCQF level 8)
Marie has been an excellent tutor throughout this course and consistently supportive. Marie has also been excellent in outlining any areas where more depth or focus may have been required by me as a student in relation to coursework. Marie has also been extremely accessible for any queries and prompt to reply.

Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Some of the course work seems a little dated

Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Credit rated at SCQF level 8)
The course materials made sense and explained what was required throughout.
My tutor (Marie Murphy) was really engaging throughout and very supportive when I asked questions and probed into next steps etc. If/when I sign up for my next course I would ask for Marie to be my tutor again.

Diploma in Youth Counselling
I loved the youth counselling course, as a teacher I learned a lot about all the theories and models and also released that I have applied most of them in my years of teaching without noticing. I have also learned that my approach is a holistic approach, which I never knew. Dr. Murphy was amazing in her guidance and feedback and I learned a lot from her. I am planning on expanding in this career and also do the other counselling courses.

Diploma in Crisis Counselling
I found the course to be informative and it encouraged you to broaden your knowledge on the modules you were studying.
I was unable to source the text for this module so I had to research materials for additional reading.
The tutor's comments were always a source of encouragement and motivation to move on to the next assignment.
