Unsatisfactory
I completed my studies a few years ago with Chrysalis. Thank goodness I had previously completed a 2 year counselling course somewhere else. Theory wise i learnt a certain amount. There was no support for students, I initiated a small group for a few who were within a reasonable distance. We were discouraged from joining BACP and told the NCS was the one to join. However once I finished my L5 I found I could not join the BACP as I had no placement, again not encouraged and not enough tutorial hours. If you want to be taken seriously as a counsellor you need to be a member of BACP. I have since completed my Adlerian Pyschology Course, am a student member of BACP which I hope after submitting my Case Study to become a full member. Chrysalis were not interested in my complaints and concerns. Having a refund or even a partial one would have been the decent thing to do, I feel that I wasted a lot of money that got me nowhere. I work as a counsellor and that is not down to Chrysalis.
