What our Students Say....
“My experience with PCI College has been a significantly positive journey to date. I am passionate about the field and work of Counselling and Psychotherapy and PCI has been the perfect vehicle for me to carry my academic and experiential endeavours.
The staff and lecturers have a total dedication to the well being of the students throughout their studies and the training available is of the highest standards available in Ireland. The student care available has made our challenges, constructive life changing experiences.
Our group, which consists of several experienced colleagues in the field of health care and social sciences, has formed a very special bond which resembles a supportive family nucleus. We have experienced changes, shifts and growths individually and as a group.
My formative training is nearly completed. I have participated in several courses, workshops and lectures given by PCI, outside our required syllabus and will certainly continue my professional development with additional courses given by PCI. I am currently pursuing advanced training in CBT with PCI which I find very helpful in client work and a beneficial complement to our extensive academic training.” Johanne Kenny
"...For me PCI College is a 10. What makes it so is the care recieved from the tutors, they do practice what they preach. They exhibit; empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard. Having previously availed of counselling training in the North of Ireland, I am sorry to say the atmosphere in PCI College which is so conducive to learning was not present in my previous arena of study.
I rate my experience of training with PCI College not only as a 10 but also as one of my most enjoyable experiences of further education. I look forward to each weekend's training with enthusiasm, and I value the knowledge and experience shared by the tutors and the camaraderie of my fellow students." Kathleen Doherty
"The Vote from Me is a 10+...After coming from another college system PCI College is a totally different and healthier experience all round to education... Please dont ever lose that.... its what PCI College Stands for in my eyes - Integrity of the highest standard..." Yvonne McKenna

“Excellent tutors and course-work, made this course very enjoyable. Also, Joyce in PCI was a fabulous & caring person, and is a treasure to PCI Clondalkin. The Student Care Officer Phil Duggan was a great help in keeping students on track with their required hours. I found the college had a lovely approach in dealing with students, and helping them to handle the pressure of completing the high level of college hours, assignments, workshops, client hrs, personal therapy hrs, and supervision hrs required.” Jenny Hannigan
“In relation to the college, the tutors and staff its really a 10 PCI have met and exceeded my expectations to date.”
“My experience with PCI was the best decision in my life, I would rate PCI 10. I'm not saying it was easy, especially starting a new career at the age of 50, but i got through with alot of hard work and dedication. Liam McCarthy and Josephine Murphy were an inspiration and all the other Tutors I had during the four years. Since I got my Degree I have been so busy counselling, only last week I was offered another new job, its amazing. Next year I will be 70 and hopefully the work will continue.” Rita Lett
“My experience of studying with PCI has been a very positive one indeed. I loved Butler House as a venue; the tutors were really excellent and the presentations equally so.....I would give the whole experience a 9 out of 10.” Catherine Rooney
“Hi, I have been with PCI College for four years now doing a degree programme and I have found the experience and standard of the college exceptional at all times. I would rate it as a ten due the professionalism of the college, the clinical experienced tutors and trainers and the services at PCI college. They also are client centered in the way in which they deal with students which stands out from most other colleges” Joanne Curley
“I think the tutors are of an extremely high standard. So far I have received support in every area needed.” Donna Jordon
