Diploma in Supervision

"I have never been in such a creative, free, wonderful environment to learn. The mix of students is just buzzing. I have felt it such a privilege to have been allowed to be present.

Our tutor was such a delight....and I hope she continues teaching in her wonderfully human, but knowledgeable way."

A. Davey

Diploma in Supervision Graduate

"On the Supervision Course I learnt a lot about how to be a supervisor and it has given me confidence to go out and put my new knowledge and skills into practice. But more than that the tutor facilitated a truly responsive learning space that made the experience unique. The best course I have ever done!"

Antoinette Buisman

Advanced Transactional Analysis Programme

"Every weekend is full of practical skills to learn with the added theoretical background needed to understand it. The makeup of the group allows us to learn from each other’s experiences and from people with different therapeutic backgrounds. It's a great course with a supportive and excellent tutor."

Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling

“My experience with the Iron Mill was the best decision in my life, I would rate the IMI 10/10. I'm not saying it was easy, especially starting a new career at the age of 50, but I got through with a lot of hard work and dedication.  Our tutors were an inspiration during the four years.  Since I got my Diploma I have been so busy counselling, only last week I was offered another new job, it’s amazing. Next year I will be 70 and hopefully the work will continue.”

Elisabeth Bartlett

“A terrific learning experience and very enjoyable. You don't need to be an academic, plenty of hands-on practice.”

“My experience with the Iron Mill has been a significantly positive journey to date."

Joanne Blenny

Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling

 “The course has opened up my mind and my emotions to all aspects of human life both positive and negative. Because of this, I believe I am a much more rounded person & the possibilities are endless.  For me the practical application along with the academic understanding really enriches the course...”

Suzanne Richards

Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling

"I thoroughly enjoyed my advanced diploma course at Poole. Throughout the process we were encouraged to develop our own philosophy of counselling. I valued this chance to develop my own autonomy around what counselling meant to me. The group was motivated, supportive and fun! We became very close. Our tutor was very knowledgeable, experienced, supportive and inspiring. My journey was challenging and rewarding, the ethos of Iron Mill felt right to me prior to my enrolment, and this feeling has continued throughout my journey. It was worth the extra miles of travel to a place where I felt really at home..."
