Chrysalis Courses Recenzje 

The company is verbally helpful and wants to assist I am not certain whether it's staff put into place the ethics and behaviours that it tries to teach on the courses it provides time with tell

It’s progressing responding a question to students. Helpful and continuing to be productive.

Lots of work but met some lovely people and enjoying the journey.

Don't waste £4000 on this terrible, unethical course, it's an absolute shambles and a disgrace to the counselling profession. I am severely disappointed with the money I am wasting on this course. I have completed level 2 introduction, level 2 award and level 3 in counselling at a college and the standard of those courses and the ability of the teacher was 100% better and more ethical than this disgrace of a course. They are only robbing my money. The teacher is passive aggressive and doesn't answer any of our questions, only says "speak to student services", it's like she doesn't know anything about who she is working for.

This course is wholly unethical for a few reasons. 1. There are no private rooms to undertake confidential skills practices and activities. 2. The teacher is passive aggressive and I am shocked that if she is a counsellor, she is allowing herself morally to teach on such an unethical course. Our college tutor would never have allowed things to pass such as chrysalis have. The teacher is unprepared and has not done one ounce of teaching since November. She asks us to read the course notes at home, print out the presentation, and then proceeds to read out word for word the presentation, and that's it, done. She doesn't delve deeper into the teachings, and when we do our skills sessions, she says she doesn't want us to go 'too deep' with personal problems and asks us just to talk about the traffic - no self respecting person would go to counselling regarding traffic, so how is this teaching us skills?

We are also "learning" exactly what me and my peers learnt in level 2 and 3, we have not learnt anything new. The course is unethical because there are no private rooms to do skills practice, therefore we have to have confidential conversations (albeit about traffic), in front of everyone. This is NOT how skills practice should be done.

Feedback on assignments is slow, the system moodle doesn't work properly and is incredibly difficult and messy to navigate. The teacher then has the audacity to say "I know you can do better" in the assignments, when she doesn't know me and hasn't actually taught us anything, and her grammar doesn't make sense.

Me and lots of other peers have escalated our concerns to Chrysalis and the room was changed, however it is still not confidential, and it is out of the way for everyone using public transport, and STILL does not have confidential rooms away from other peers to undertake confidential skills practice and activities.

This course provider seriously needs an investigation into it's workings, because £4000 for a 2 year course where we are not learning anything and is unethical, is damn right disgusting.

I did not pay £4000 to then have to purchase expensive books (in this economy?!!), print out PowerPoints and then just have them read back to me.

Course tutor excellent and very helpful and supportive. Details on Moodle re course and assignments sometimes hard to understand and not very clear.

I am a current student on Chrysalis 3 year psychotherapy course. I have been really happy with the course, content is great, monthly sessions that fit in around life and a full time job. The 2 tutors I have had Emma for year 1 and Leigh year 2&3 have been amazing. So helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, great teachers. I have learned so much and am progressing towards completion in November. I would highly recommend this course especially the Hitchin course with Emma and Leigh.

It was interactive and informative

So far so good. Enjoying my course

Very well organised, excellent support, excellent lectures

Always available to help and sort out any issues I have . Very friendly staff .

As a current student hypnotherapist and counsellor training with Chrysalis, I couldn’t be more satisfied with the quality of the programme and the support I’ve received throughout my studies. From the first module onward, the structure, depth, and clarity of the teaching have consistently exceeded my expectations.

My tutor has been an exceptional source of guidance—knowledgeable, reassuring, and truly invested in my development. She creates a learning environment that feels safe, encouraging, and intellectually stimulating. Her feedback is always constructive and personalised, helping me grow in both confidence and competence. The support I’ve received from her has been invaluable and has played a major role in my progress so far.

The course materials are well-designed, the practical elements are empowering, and the overall ethos is compassionate and professional. I feel fully supported not only in building the necessary clinical skills but also in developing my identity as a future practitioner.

I wholeheartedly recommend Chrysalis to anyone considering training in hypnotherapy or counselling. The experience has been transformative, and the support—especially from my tutor—has been outstanding.

Chrysalis has been incredibly supportive to me. I have finally finished and passed my finals. I have been struggling with my physical and mental health and I was challenged greatly to finish my coursework. I had the most incredible support, understanding and encouragement from Tania Redmile in the South Student Support Liaison. Without Tania I would not have been able to finish and pass my coursework. Tania never gave up on me, she gave me nothing but support and encouragement and understanding, she’s a wonderful person and I cannot thank her more. Thank you 🙏🏻🤩🙏🏻

Mark V is a great teacher and very supportive

I've had just over 2 years, so far, and I'm finishing in the next couple of months on the Level 5 course (Level 4 first year, Level 5 second year) and I have been pleased with the online materials, in-person tuition, level of knowledge of the tutor (Rhianan Lowes), her empathetic support, the backroom support of the admin staff who always respond promptly and the extra webinars that Chrysalis provide. I have found the breaks Chrysalis build in for July, August and December helpful in managing other aspects of my life separate to studying and placement counselling. I definitely recommend Chrysalis as being good value for money, detailed and broad training, supportive and with rigorous but fair assessments regularly being part of the course.

I enjoyed my time in the course. The only drawback for me is the difficulty to travel and meet with peers to carry out the practice hours. I'm not sure that there's a way around thar other than to do it all online however, I understand why it is set up in such a way.

Karl is an excellent tutor who is incredibly passionate about what he does. He demonstrates clear knowledge of anything that he teaches us, coupled with an essence of self-awareness and openness. Karl consistently uses concept checking questions to ensure we have interpreted what he is teaching us correctly, furthermore he is able to employ alternative methods of explanation if necessary, to support us effectively as students. He is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure we are having a positive and purposeful learning experience. Thank you Karl, your expertise and experience is massively appreciated. You are making our 1st year of learning significantly valuable and enjoyable.

The pluralistic approach is amazing to focus on the client. The materials available in moodle are clear and easy to access. The component/module format gets a bit confusing at times and it would be helpful to combine the schedule of dates for the course and assignment and due dates with the structure and modules rather than pulling together your own timetable using two documents. The onus on you to access personal counselling as needed has been a breath of fresh air and enabled me to use it as needed rather than than a sheep dunk approach adding unnecessary cost and providing more barriers so thank you for that. The support services have been prompt in their replies and assistance (for example with illness of a supervisor) and take a supportive pragmatic approach. The written learning materials and videos suit differing learning styles. I have learned and developed so much and the free cpd webinars and additional courses have been interesting and of good quality.
It has been a great experience, tough at times but worthwhile

The second year with Chrysalis was very tough, with massive tutor issues. We were told that new tutors were apprehensive to work with our group due to the feedback that the Chrysalis staff had given them about us as a class. This was very hard to hear and upsetting as it was not our faults that we had a tutor that was unavailable, lied and never marked any of our essays. However, the last year of my studies has been stable and enjoyable, with a tutor who has done their job ethically whilst being relatable.
