Review

'The Practising Schema Focused Therapy course is a fantastic course and facilitated brilliantly by Andy and Ashlie. The course gave me an extra invaluable tool to use with my client base. I would recommend this course to anyone regardless of their experience and background. It is delivered in a way that is professional, fun and interesting. Andy has a vast depth of knowledge and is more than willing to share this. Ashlie also has a great knowledge and was interactive and engaging.'

I would give my highest recommendation for this course. It was probably one of the most interesting and rewarding experiences of my life. I felt I was a member of this community from day one, supported step by step even after the end of the course. It was a rich, life-changing, learning experience. I met wonderful people, who became my friends. Grateful.

I cannot recommend ACT Counselling Services enough. I am doing the Diploma Course, and really enjoy drawing on their extensive knowledge and experience. I always feel I can ask questions when I am unsure about anything as both are very approachable. Both tutors are very engaging and above all, are extremely supportive. As well as learning professionally, I have learned so much about myself on a personal level and I am totally embracing the journey. Inputs are delivered with clarity and passion. I would not hesitate to recommend ACT. Thank you!

ACT counselling and CBT services are a fantastic organisation to receive training from. They encouraged and supported me to be the best student I could possibly be, with so much knowledge and passion from the trainers it was easy to be engaged in learning. As a newly qualified therapist I have chosen to continue receiving support from Andy at ACT as my supervisor. The supervision I receive from Andy continues my on-going journey with ACT in order to help me develop into the best counsellor I could possibly be and give my clients the service they deserve. ACT is truly...

'ACT Counselling Services deliver training of excellent quality. My decision to attend the PG Dip Level Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Groupwork has been one of the most important decisions of my life. The academic director and all the tutors involved in the diploma are highly experienced and perfectly competent CBT therapists, as well as warm and caring individuals and a true inspiration to the students. A variety of teaching methods are used, such as power points, live demonstration of CBT skills and pair/group activities. Tutors' examples from their own professional practice enrich the theoretical inputs. In the supportive...
