Thoroughly enjoyed the course and our tutor Karl Shanahan is great. Made every session fun to learn and couldn’t recommend enough.

Chrysalis is a great course provider
Chrysalis is a great course provider, the online material is great, student support is accessible and great and the tutor Andy is brilliant- supportive, encouraging, knowledgeable. My only bit of feedback is that the courses available via NCPS which are often advertised by email to students are extremely expensive and inaccessible for many students at time in my opinion.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
Andy is a brilliant tutor and it is great to hear your comments about your experience with him.
With regards to the cost of Chrysalis' courses, there is a lot of consideration that goes into how we price these. We try to keep our prices low and competitive while also ensuring that they fairly reflect the high standards of content created, delivered and taught. We do review this regularly.
Good luck with your next steps, if you are interested in one of our further courses then please do contact us at enquiries@chrysaliscourses.ac.uk - we would love to hear from you!
Motivational tutor and engaging course material
The course is engaging and our tutor Andrew Brown is a brilliant motivator. He draws on his real life experience and facilitates great class discussion.

Hi Anna,
Thank you for your feedback about the course material and your tutor Andrew. It is great to hear that you have had such a great experience studying with Chrysalis and have found Andrew a brilliant motivator!
Good luck with your next steps!
Nick Matthew’s a great tutor! Great chrysalis tutor and the support for our course so far has been great!
At the start, we had a different tutor and the experience was ok but something felt missing. We actually got a new tutor Nick Matthew’s and he’s really great. The whole experience has changed and the atmosphere has really improved. I feel comfortable going to him and receive fast responses, when struggling or needing some support with course work. He’s been my year 1 tutor, and sadly won’t be having him for the next 2 years but this would be great if we could continue having the same tutor, as Nick is amazing. Can’t wait to continue my studies with chrysalis.

Hello Grace!
Thank you for your feedback - I agree, Nick Matthews is great! Really glad to hear that he has improved your experience in Year 1. He is a very supportive tutor and I am not surprised to read your comments about him
It is normal to study with a different tutor from Year 2 onwards, but I am confident you will have another 5* experience with your new tutor too.
Good luck!
Nick has completely changed my experience for the better
Nick has been excellent for us since he became our tutor in the middle of year 1. He has reassured us and made us feel so much more confident in what we are doing. I feel as though I am able to ask any questions that I need and that it will get answered thoroughly.

The course and the tutor (Andrew Brown) has been very consistent and supportive.
The course resources might need updating.
Also - the access to course resources only when assignment is submitted can be frustrating and unhelpful when extension is requested. Maybe access should be granted a week before the next lesson regardless of submission being made.

Chrysalis stepped in when our previous course combusted. We were treated kindly and sympathetically. Without Rhianan and Chrysalis as a whole, we would never have been able to complete our studies, and gain our qualifications!

Low rent
I would describe this organisation as “low rent”. Many of the good tutors have left. The good ones remaining are outnumbered by those whose experience is lacking. The “management” defensively hides behind inadequate, unjust processes.
Essentially, Chrysalis Courses is the training arm for the NCPS. Board members sit across both organisations, and a greater gap between the two should be created for impartiality, fairness and objectivity.

Good afternoon Sarah-Jane,
I am sorry to hear that you feel this way about Chrysalis. I would like to invite you to contact Student Support to talk through any concerns you may have and we will be more than happy to try and help.
Chrysalis tutors are professional counsellors, and we have a thorough recruitment process when it comes to working with new tutors. We have nearly 100 different tutors based around the country, each is required to attend the same annual training events, are assessed using the same criteria and all new tutors are required to attend new tutor training. We therefore would not expect tutors, the quality of their tutoring or their own counselling experience to be lacking.
To confirm, Chrysalis Not for Profit Ltd does not have Board Members and is a completely separate company to the NCPS. The NCPS accredits our counselling courses, as it does for other training providers.
If you have specific concerns about your tutor or our administrative processes then again, I would like to invite you to share these with Student Support - we are always happy to receive constructive feedback and look for ways to improve.
Highly recommended
Having class once a month worked perfectly with my busy life and Chrysalis was just perfect for my needs. Both the my teacher and student support were very helpful and supportive on this journey.

The help for placement in Northern Ireland is practically non existent. Paying over 4 grand is a waste of money and not helpful for trying to enter the real, professional world of counselling in NI. My lecturer is great but is using the materials Chrysalis give which can be very outdated and basic. I have told people to stay far away as other services provide more for far less.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback.
Our Student Team can advise you on placement opportunities within the Northern Ireland area that you can contact and they can assist with extensions of time to support you in gaining your placement hours. They can also speak with our Placements and Development Manager about the difficulties you are experiencing and ask that this is looked further into for you. Please do let them know if you would like to talk this through.
We can also assure you that our courses are accredited by the National Hypnotherapy Society and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. We constantly monitor our materials and resources and any changes made throughout the year are notified to the Societies for our annual accreditation renewal and are reviewed at this time.
We are sorry to hear of your concerns. This is not the experience we would want for our student and we would invite you to contact our Student Support team to discuss this further so that they can look to offer you advice and support for your final year of study.
Mixed Feelings
Ive found the srudent support really helpful. The mis communication between tutors has been confusing and left people in our class a bit lost on what we at meant to do. Classes we have found have been were we followed a work sheet we could have read at home. Supervisors Ive had have told me they find the level of depth the course goes into isn't good because I dont seem as educated as people on courses from colleges like other students in my supervison group have went to the same as my supervisor . Has left doubt on wherever Im very capable maybe chrysalis isn't getting enough credit or hasn't been as common a place to study. Not sure what it is but nearing end of year three and wandering if Im not that capable or trusted because of the stigma that the way Chrysalis structure their classes is differnt to other places of study. My class and me have talked about how we really enjoyed the first year of Hypnotherapy therapy and think we were because of the kind of tutor we had. Ive struggled with the cost of the course and student finance have been really supportive in offering extended time to pay. Overall its been interesting just feel alone and not much check in how our clinical practice has been going . quite isolating and your left to your own devices to study or not . So long as assignments are done. Enjoyed the flexibility of weekends so can maintain working and earning . Ideal course if your super Confident already and dont need to talk about your journey in class just fcu on the paperwork that you bring to class and the tutor reads back to you really. It's been fun at times with group work not always time for everyone to practice .

I want to be honest here!
I want to be honest here!
I was struggling to find a placement for my 3rd year since September last year in September!
I have tried all the listed options provided for
College but most of those placements are not within my location range! I emailed searching and back and forward to the one I like still not staring yet even though they had my paperwork and some paperwork work loss in the process! It was taking up my time and stressing me out! It did upset me
I wish 🙏🏼 you could find placement and be ready for us instead of students having to search on their own!
We pay a lot of money for this course, the package itself the course was structured and all good! However, customer service could do better to help more with our struggles. English second-language speakers find it hard! Thank you
