The course provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through its structured materials, I was able to develop essential CBT skills that are crucial for effective practice in the field of mental health support. The knowledge I got has significantly enhanced my confidence as a mental health support counselor, enabling me to apply these techniques in real-world situations with greater assurance. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Marie Murphy for her exceptional support throughout the course. Her insightful feedback was invaluable in helping me refine my skills and deepen my understanding of the material. I am confident that I will revisit the course materials in the future, as they are well-organized and serve as a valuable resource for ongoing learning and professional development.

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.

I enjoyed the course and appreciated the extensive materials and support provided throughout my learning experience. The tutor was fantastic, always helpful, and quickly answered my questions. However, I found the final assignment "TMA" to be a bit challenging.

Marie has been very quick to return her helpful feedback, thank you. I like the style of the course very much, it matches my integrative style. There are a few anomalies around instructions about how we should write the final assessment paper, for example, whether the word count of the session segment was to include the analytical remarks or not. You wanted us to be careful of using gender-definite words which I am completely in accord with, but your study materials don't seem to have been updated to reflect this policy. These sorts of examples are the reason I gave 4 not 5 on those areas.

Echoing the same as my first answer - I enjoyed the subject matter, but felt the literature for understanding how to hand in work could've been much easier to understand and work with.

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.

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.

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.
