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

The online offering of the course is a good initiative as it gives persons who work in areas that may involve counselling the opportunity to learn and become "professional" in their interaction when necessary. For me the study at your pace is good especially as I had some personal challenges along the way. The concept and delivery is encouraging as you do not get overwhelmed - it is as though you are in a classroom with a tutor.

John O, 6 years ago

Great course. I loved it! I know I'm lucky to have done it as others haven't yet. I liked following Barry's case and gradually adding more and more to my assignments. I felt invested in the family.

Brittany J, 6 years ago

There was sufficient material to get your teeth into along with the additional reading.

Anne P, 6 years ago

Course provided exact information I wanted to learn and was fit for the purpose I wanted. It was invaluable to study the first module - Counselling to learn the models and purpose of counselling which I was then able to relate to the bereavement part. The course challenged my understanding and the way I would respond. I have learnt to read between lines, to consider what peopel are not physically saying, not just to rely on the physical word spoken.

Tina F, 7 years ago

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.

Melanie C, 14 days ago

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.
