Act Counselling Services

Loved my 1st year CBT Diploma and Group work course.Tutors,Supervisors and fellow students all want you to succeed and the learning is done in a friendly,supportive environment.Roll on Year 2.

Just finishing up my first year of the Postgrad Diploma in CBT & Groupwork. Been an amazing year of learning and growth. ACT has fantastic tutors and supervisors who help work every aspect of training in CBT. Also made great friends along the way. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in training in Counseling or CBT.

Just completed a short course with ACT, the facilities are great (we were greeted with crispe creme doughnuts on our first day) the course content was spot on, reasonably priced given the exceptional high standard of delivery and throughroughly enjoyable. For me what stands out the most about ACT is the absolute genuinesness of both Ashlie and Andy, thier knowdlege is outstanding and thier desire to share this is very warming. ACT will no doubt be a significant part of my professional career and I look forward to many more courses with them in the future. Thanks guys

I have worked in the counselling/therapy field for over 25 years primarily developing and managing services. In the last couple of years, based on feedback and the recommendations from colleagues I have attended ACT for a variety of courses, including, CBT course, Schema Therapy and currently toward the end of the Diploma in CBT and I can say I have not been disappointed. In my opinion, ACT would be my first stop service to access any training requirements either for personal reasons or on behalf of the services I manage. The course tutors and facilitators are of the highest quality; in their skills, knowledge, experience and approach; each session is laced with warmth and humour which allows students to feel part of the organisation; it really does reflect a family system which I believe once part of, will remain with you forever. The level of support available to each student is incredible and they make time for every individual student. The content of each course, provides not only the opportunity for learning and personal growth but for creating the desire to learn more; it develops a thirst for learning. The enthusiasm and passion conveyed by the tutors, facilitators, supervisors and administration staff, through a variety of mediums make every day enjoyable; a real sense of connection. I would recommend ACT above any other training provider I have either attended or commissioned over a great many years.

Currently on the second year of the Diploma in CBT with ACT. I cannot rate highly enough the quality of teaching and the teaching materials. The tutors are highly skilled and knowledgeable, very approachable, work hard at supporting the group and provide a safe place to explore ourselves and our edges of awareness. They also provide an opportunity for a laugh as well which is always welcome on this sort of course!

Currently I am studying the second year of the Diploma in CBT with ACT. This is a great course and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in working as a CBT therapist. This course givesyou the tools to become a confident CBT therapist. During the skills Practice, we work in triad or quads (listener/speaker and observers) and we learn how to use a CBT tool for first time on a current problem bothering the speaker. There is aclinical observer who will help the listener if they are struggling with the tool.

The tutors are knowledgeble and very approachable. They offer extensive and comprehensive feedback about all the assigments submited and our performance in CBT Skills Practice.
