Testimonials

"There have been times in my journey to becoming a qualified counsellor where I have questioned if I am up to the task ahead but studying this year to Level 3 has alleviated many of my concerns. I feel indebted to Kelly for the positive difference she has made. She has been extremely supportive, and her honest, constructive feedback and guidance has given me the confidence to push through times of doubting myself. I now feel I am more self-aware and gained the knowledge, skills and confidence to progress to Level 4. Learning to be a counsellor is a life changing journey and I have benefitted enormously, both personally and professionally. I am excited to continue!"

I have been expressing  my views with more confidence. It is a massive step forward and I'm really grateful. Thank you."

Introduction Student

​"Kelly was a very supportive tutor and really cared about all of her students. She was always on hand to help with any queries and would encourage you even if you felt you couldn't do something. She would give you honest feedback, which I found great as she had belief in me when I didn't. I would highly recommend Kelly as a tutor. Such a shame she doesn't teach the next level. She is a great tutor and a genuine person."

Best wishes from the bottom of my heart. You are an inspiration."

"I've recently studied Counselling Skills with Kelly Porch who has been a fantastic tutor! Kelly is committed, working hard to offer an informative, enjoyable and productive course in line with the CPCAB criteria. Kelly offers constructive feedback throughout the course well preparing you towards further studies. I would highly recommend Kelly and her teaching facility for counselling studies."

Level 2 Student

"I have studied with NCCS for both my Level 2 & Level 3 and I cannot recommend this centre enough. Kelly is an incredibly supportive tutor who both challenges and encourages you. She is incredibly knowledgeable and will always take the time to talk through anything you don't quite understand and give you honest feedback which I always appreciated. Lessons were always made interesting by Kelly even with the slightly heavier topics! I feel like these courses at NCCS have completely changed me (for the better!) and I am so excited to continue my studies to become a qualified counsellor."

Level 3 Student

"I have really benefited from taking level 3 with NCCS. The high quality, in depth teaching was both challenging and enjoyable. Our tutor pushed us to get the best out of us individually. For me that meant greatly expanding my theory knowledge but more than that, growing my confidence in putting that knowledge to use in both my skills practice and deepening self awareness. I would recommend NCCS to anyone!"

Level 2 Student

"This course raises an all-round awareness of Person Centred Counselling and is both informative and thought provoking. The expertise, friendly guidance and support offered by the course tutor was exemplary. Whilst the level 3 course can be challenging having a good tutor makes this journey far more achievable and enjoyable."

Level 3 Student

"I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and now feel I have a much better understanding of the topic"

Introduction Student

​"Kelly supported my learning in a approachable and down to earth manner. She imparted her own knowledge and personal experience of the counselling relationship whilst communicating the underlying theories and good practice. Appropriate guidance and constructive feedback from her helped me to evaluate areas to build upon. I'm applying some of what I've learnt already in my workplace and other areas of life having gained confidence in how I apply listening skills to support both day to day interactions and some  challenging situations. Though at times it can seem daunting setting out on the first steps of counselling skills training, Kelly appeared to give time to each and every member of the learning group and made the sessions relevant and interesting...and we all passed!"

Level 2  Student​

"I approached Kelly as I was curious about counselling as a career and wanted to explore what was involved in the training and if I might be suitable.  I received frank and honest advice from the beginning and I feel I have benefited hugely from the courses I've taken.  The teaching and course material has been both supportive and challenging which has helped me develop as a person as well as a trainee counsellor.  Now a couple of years later, I've acquired the skills and confidence to work in a helping role and I'm currently preparing to undertake training to become a qualified counsellor."
