Hazel McCorrisken – My Continuing Personal Journey

11th November 2024
Hazel McCorrisken – My Continuing Personal Journey I spent a whole year pondering, looking up the website, wondering if I had the courage to apply to study.

A few years ago, a friend in our Church mentioned the Glasgow Institute of Counselling - I never knew it existed.

I spent a whole year pondering, looking up the website, wondering if I had the courage to apply to study.

Eventually, one day, I did - and it was the beginning of a wonderful journey of discovery and hopefulness ..that I am still travelling on, one which I feel will never end.

I have been so, so, lucky having Mr William Stewart as my Tutor.

I can remember sending in my very first assignment to William and emailing him to say I might need a little longer as I had not completed it very well - his reply, was, of course, - "have a go, look up and aim high!”

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. Mobrae

Marie has been an excellent tutor throughout this course and consistently supportive.

Marie has also been extremely accessible for any queries and prompt to reply.

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.

I have gained great insight by completing this course as you might be aware in my role at work I am expected to provide therapy. I have been in this role for the past 4 years, had no confidence and was really struggling until I stated this course. I have found it very helpful and I appreciate to insightful feedback from Marie all the time.
