Many thanks for your interest regarding our courses
On behalf of the faculty, may I extend a warm welcome to you from the Institute of Counselling.
Uniquely, our courses integrate counselling theory, models and skills to enrich and enhance your learning experience. Our site is especially designed to be interesting, relevant, and above all, practical.
We offer a comprehensive range of distance and online learning: Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other helping intervention courses.
With the current emphasis in many organisations on skills training even more students are appreciating the proven flexibility of distance and online learning, with the result that our courses are now more popular than ever.The courses are both modular and student centred, ensuring your specific training needs are met.
For nearly twenty eight years we have provided counselling courses for the caring professions, voluntary sectors, and individual students, both in the UK, and overseas. From basic Certificate courses, right through to advanced two year Diploma courses, students have turned to the Institute over the years for additional professional qualifications and to develop their own personal skills.
I feel sure that on this website you will find the course to fit your unique individual requirements. I look forward to welcoming you into the student body of the Institute.

Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Credit rated at SCQF level 8)
The course material is presented in a great and easy to understand way. The colourful pictures and diagrams enhance the course material. The content of the material was interessting and keeps one engaged without it being overwhelming, it is a great mix.
It is great to have a tutor assigned to a student where one can get help and support and ask questions. I appreciated my tutor`s feedback on my assignments. And I particularly appreciated the clarifications regarding the TMA and the word count for each different section, and help to clarify the referencing system.

Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Credit rated at SCQF level 8)
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.

Certificate in CBT 2 (Credit rated at SCQF level 8)
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.

Certificate in CBT 2 (Credit rated at SCQF level 8)
Marie has been an excellent tutor throughout this course and consistently supportive. Marie has also been excellent in outlining any areas where more depth or focus may have been required by me as a student in relation to coursework. Marie has also been extremely accessible for any queries and prompt to reply.
