Victoria Counselling Service

Having completed two levels of courses at the Victoria Counselling and Training Services (VCTS) in 2013, I have enjoyed immediate placement at the local charity project DOVE - who hold VCTS in very high regard. Thanks to the high quality of courses content and teaching method, I found myself well equipped to embark on a practicing journey of counselling, which was something I had no prior experience of. My tutor Liz, was very knowledgeable and supportive. Learning at VCTS was so enjoyable, it had inspired me not only to practice working with clients, but also gave me a solid knowledge base and confidence to continue further studies on a BPS accredited studies. Some people get distracted by the interior of the building, but the quality of these courses is so invaluable, quite frankly I would sit in a cave if that was where these were taught. Result of my latest psychology degree module was a Distinction, something I could never imagine to achieve if it wasn't for the VCTS courses. I am forever grateful to David and Pauline for making my success today possible through creation of a unique gem of a course/training program. Highly recommended!

I have been a student at Victoria counselling services as well as a client and I have always received the most professional service. I have read the previous reviews regarding the building etc and it may not have the most up to date furnishings and the building is old however that has no reflection on the services they provide, I would have no hesitation to recommend Pauline and David in regards to the training they provide (at a very reasonable rate) or their counselling services.

The place looks run down and very unwelcoming from the outside. Inside isn't much better.

David and Pauline are exceptional in their field. The place might not be a palace but the quality of therapy and the courses more than make up for that.

Victoria Counselling offers excellent services incorporating one-to-one counselling as well as many training courses which are of the highest standard. David and Pauline are both extremely experienced and have a wealth of knowledge that they are happy to share with others. Sally Chalk & Sheila Chesney
