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.

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.

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.
