Default counting the number of times a word appears

I have over 1000 entries where one colum contains cells with multiple info
such as:
Provide professional development opportunities, Subsidise the cost of
training courses, Organise social events, such as presentation nights,
dinners, thanks BBQs or breakfasts,

Is there any simple way to count the number of times a word e.g.
'professional' appears in the 1000 cells in that column?

I know how to count if there is just one word or phrase in each cell, the
problem is occuring because there are multiple prhrases in each cell.

Any help you could provide would be great.

Cheers
