Postgraduate Counselling reviews
Anon, March 2010
Overall score
This tiny cramped spot in Walcott Terrace, Bath costs £2,500 a year for one days tuition and the student has to pay for weekly therapy for the whole six or seven years (depending on whether counselling or psychotherapy option chosen) Therapy is £35 at least per session. The few students in my group were all very rich very competitive and very unaware of everyday life for the average non-rich person (like me) I found and discussions about villas in France abounded. I was shouted at in the dicussion sessions and when I defended myself was made fun of many times by tutors who use it as a free for all it seems be superior. I found the staff of two were unable to be objective and had an obvious favourite who they defiended no matter what so the group therapy was a joke. I felt that I was sinking in a morass of self-regard and career moves with no one being really that 'into' the client. This is a career move for some rich people who frankly would not be tolerated in the average office or place of employment due to their spoilt ways.
Study experience
Under qualified tutors who seem to regard themselves as deeply important and capable when comments made in class and on my essays were biased, unacademic I feel and irrelevant even. One tutor is an Irish lady who really cannot ever ever ever be wrong and has an ego the size of Britain. It was horrible because they kept telling us to be real and so on but if any truth came out they made fun of the truth-teller (ie me mostly about their favouritism for a particuar student). Arrogant male tutor trying to get close to the female students revolting. I was exhausted from an early time but had spent a lot of money on the course and felt it would be wasted if I left mid-way.
Facilities
Library a joke with no order or record of books. BCPC calls itself a charity but it is raking in a fortune from these course which, if you go on til the end, last six or seven years. Greedy attitude about payment also.
Postgraduate life
No one was friendly some even made jokes about me while I was there and I did not deserve it but was alone in not being a rich deeply confident person
Job prospects
Employers of counsellors and therapists rate this place highly it seems but they have no idea what a crap place it is. Students are required to do hardly any written work and so even the laziest rich kid can get to be a therapist and earn a lot as a result. I have nothing against rich people but everyone on the course was very very privileged and prvately educated which is not their fault I know. But they feel they have a right to a big income and therapy learned here is too easy to BS through I feel - especially if you are a tutors favourite (one female cried every week really and got so much attention for it that it seemed fake after a whlie as she was different when the tutors were not around).
