I am writing this review today because tomorrow I qualify as a Counsellor!!! 😁 My journey started & ended with Adept Central & it has been truly remarkable from a personal & professional development perspective. The tutors are also experienced counsellors , passionate about the profession as well as their students. Adept isn’t a college to just tick a box & pass, it’s a college that nurtures & supports you to become an ethical, professional, well rounded counsellor. The courses are insightful, in-depth, structured & creative & the wisdom imparted by the tutors is so enriching. If I could give 100 stars 🌟 for Adept I would!
I have almost completed the Level 2 course and Adept have been absolutely amazing. Hope (my tutor) and Sharon have been so helpful and supportive. The course content is always incredibly interesting and I’ve learnt more than I ever expected I would.
I began my journey with Adept in 2022 and what roller coaster of a ride it has been. The course for me has been a genuinely transformative experience. When I first started, I was hoping to gain knowledge and practical skills, but I have come away with so much more – including a deeper understanding of myself, my communication style, and the importance of empathy and active listening.
Throughout the course I have grown both personally and professionally. The course has provided a safe and encouraging environment where I felt comfortable exploring difficult topics, challenging my assumptions and developing emotionally as well as academically.
The tutors are extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and approachable, and their guidance helped me build confidence every step of the way. The amount of information you receive and personal experience from them is second to none.
Now in my fourth year with year one coming to an end I can honestly recommend this course to anyone considering becoming a counsellor. I will take all I have learnt with me on my own professional journey.
What a wonderful, life-changing experience this has been. I have felt fully supported throughout, whilst learning about myself and others and exploring our place in the world. Thanks to this wonderful support, I will be going on to do level 3. I am so excited to see where this takes me.
I am taking the Level 3 Counselling course and it is excellent. It’s hard to imagine anywhere else doing it better. The tutors are passionate, committed and engaging. They really care about the students, both academically and personally. They give high quality feedback, support and teaching. The structure of the course is brilliant. Lots of different modalities and theories are presented and explored, and you are continually encouraged to reflect on how they can be applied to skills practice, to future professional counselling situations and perhaps most importantly, to yourself. Most students find they have experienced considerable personal growth through taking this course.
This course is absolutely incredible. Not only do you learn about others behaviours but it helps you to reflect on your own life and what has shaped you. I would highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to become a counsellor or to develop your personal skills further. The tutor is so approachable and witty she makes each class fun and helps you to explore the different topics. Great supportive environment.
I completed level 2 with Adept and I’m two weeks off finishing level 3 and I have loved every minute of it.
Hope Lambert has been my tutor for the last 2 years and she is absolutely brilliant. She inspires, encourages, challenges and pushes you to really get to know yourself in a safe and nurturing environment. Sharon and Hope are passionate, well experienced counsellors and tutors.
The evening lessons are 6pm to 9pm so you can be at work in the day and study in the evenings. Sadly, Adept are not running level 4 this September 26 which means my journey with them has had to come to an end, otherwise, I would have been with them for level 4 and to the end.
Only one year into my Counselling journey so far, but I have committed to doing my Level 3 with Adept as well. Be prepared to learn not only about Counselling, but an awful lot about yourself as well. Hope and Sharon are very experienced and knowledgeable tutors as well as being welcoming and friendly, and there is admin support available for when I inevitably lose myself inside Google classroom…
I rarely write reviews, but I feel Adept Central deserves recognition for the impact it has had on my learning journey.
I started as a Level 1 student and am now progressing into my second year of Level 4 and preparing to begin placement. Looking back, the growth I’ve experienced, both professionally and personally, has been incredible.
The tutors consistently go above and beyond for their students. Their teaching standards are exceptionally high, and the depth of learning provided throughout the course is something I genuinely haven’t found elsewhere. The curriculum explores a wide range of theories and approaches in great detail, encouraging critical thinking, self-reflection, and personal development alongside academic learning.
What stands out most is the dedication of the tutors. They provide extensive resources, ongoing support, and create an environment where students are set up to succeed. They challenge you, encourage you, and help you recognise your own potential, even when you may not see it yourself.
This course has not only helped me develop the knowledge and skills needed for counselling, but it has also changed me as a person. The support and belief shown by the tutors have helped me recognise my own worth and acknowledge the progress and success I have achieved along the way.
