I entirely enjoyed the Foundation course over the last 6 months. The teaching was done in very effective way via practicing practical skills during triads and class discussions. It has been a journey, not only in an academic sense in getting deeper knowledge about counselling profession but also in personal development. It was so rewarding being part of the group and I am very much looking forward to start the Diploma course soon.
I have thoroughly loved my time at TAC. The teaching of the foundation course exceeded my expectations. Our tutor Bonny is so passionate about what she does, indeed it rubbed off on me. I have learnt so much about the integrative approach, and look forward to enrolling on the Diploma course.
I have just completed the Foundation in Counselling. We had the most wonderful teacher in Bonnie, whose knowledge and enthusiasm inspired us to learn and participate actively in all aspects of the course. The visiting teachers were also extremely accomplished and collectively they imparted a thorough grounding into the world of counselling.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at TAC. My tutor Bonny, not only is she such a warm, bubbly character, she is also exceptionally knowledgeable about the counselling course she lead. We her students mattered to her. Bonny is passionate about what she does, and she takes her students along with her.. I have learnt so much on this foundation course, and it has changed me for the better as a person. I would thoroughly recommend anyone who is thinking about enrolling on a counselling course, to enrol with TAC. I promise you will not regret it. I look forward to going on to study the Diploma level with TAC too.
I have had a good experience at The Awareness Centre as a student for the last two years and in placement with the Low Cost Counselling Service for the last year. What started on a bit of a hope and prayer has now come to pass and I am finishing next week full of optimism and excitement. There were some bumpy moments but TAC sorted them all out and the teaching I have had has been in the main really impressive. A transformative two years on lots of levels – would recommend training here.
I am very grateful to Helen Sutton for the way she facilitated the diploma in clinical supervision course. I found Helen to be extremely attentive to everyone in the room. She was careful to give space to those who weren’t always heard without shutting anyone else down. I appreciated her clarity around boundaries and her courage to stand by them when appropriate. I found Helen approachable and always willing to be open and authentic. I have learnt a great deal from the course content but I’d say my greatest learning has been gained through experiencing Helen as my tutor. Thank you!
I really valued the quality and variety of teaching at TAC, each of our tutors brought a combination of theoretical insight and practical experience to support our learning.
I am truly blessed to have found TAC and I couldn’t have prayed for a better tutor than Bonny to impart so much knowledge on the moralities of counselling to me with such a positive and enlightening impact. I so appreciate her teaching style in presenting such sensitive subjects[]. I also appreciate the very approachable, patient, and helpful administrative staff who have always made me feel welcome.
Its amazing how much my eyes have been opened and the encouragement for me, through the exercises and role plays, to look at myself and how I perceive others. We’ve only covered the first module and I am so grateful for how it’s been structured so far, from Michaela’s intro through to recap. This course is unlocking so much potential I’d forgotten/hadn’t realised I had, which makes me both nervous and excited for Module 2. For me, this course (so far), does what it says on the tin. I’m so happy for this discovery and have already started to spread the word to encourage others onto this specific counselling course.
This is possibly the best investment I have made in my education/personal development to-date and I look forward to each training day with unexpected excitement.
I found this training course to be supportive and informative, and the pace of learning suited me. For me, there was a good balance between the course’s academic learning and experiential aspects and I felt I grew as a person throughout the course.
A truly insightful, engaging and supportive course. The facilitator Helen and visiting lecturers have all been amazing in sharing their experiences for enhanced learning. There’s a real feeling of support within the group and within the smaller practice sessions that creates such a positive learning environment. Thank you.
