I also didn't know at that stage just how much the course and Reflect on Academy would change my life!
Jenny runs this course with such passion, enthusiasm and genuine love for her students. I can say 100% that I chose the right course for me, and I would chose Reflect on Academy every time! I loved every step of the course, the other tutors Georgina and Fiona were so supportive and knowledgeable. The knowledge that I gained over the three years I spent with Jenny and her team was completely immeasurable. I have such a lot to thank them all for, and will never forget the time I spent with my classmates - some of them will be very dear friends for life.
I was awarded a Scholarship from an American company with my work with Dementia. I travelled to Indiana in the US for a learning retreat in June this year....It was the most amazing experience!
I truly believe that doing my Counselling Diploma has opened doors for me and given me opportunities in my life that i would never otherwise have experienced. I am looking forward to this next stage in my journey.
Thank you so much Jenny and Reflect on Academy!”

“I started at ROA after completing my Level 3 earlier than expected. I came for a taster session to see if ROA was the right place for me.

Red, for danger, green for feeling good and amber in between the two. The trainee counsellor was gentle in her approach and gave the client the space to feel heard.

Six months on and I have discovered about my hidden depths and have learnt about the theories of significant figures withing the counselling field from Carl Roger's Person-Centred approach to Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung's psychodynamic philosophies.
The classes consist of group work, discussions, role play and process groups to further our understanding and to obtain each other points of view and a different way of thinking and understanding.
I enjoy studying with likeminded peers and tutors and am looking forward to finding out what the rest of the course will bring to further enhance my growth.”
