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.

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.

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.

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.
