I work in Education, however returning to study as a mature student I did find a challenge to begin. Without the consistent guidance and support from everyone at the university, I do not feel I would have been able to continue, or to grow in confidence and knowledge in this Counselling field. I have worked hard to sustain my efforts, learned how to relate my own knowledge and experiences to Counselling and helping others. With increased determination and commitment to the study, talking on board all the comments for further development offered to me by the university, (in particular my tutor Andrew Williams and Alan Smith), I am now truly enjoying the journey.

I gained a great deal from Grief and loss as a over arching subject. Transferring the theory to every day life and awareness has pushed me through a gate that I can never go back through. Once you know, YOU KNOW.

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.

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.

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.

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.
