Graduate Certificate of Counselling
Contemporary human needs include mental health care and wellbeing. This course addresses these growing needs by developing you as a professional, allowing you to explore, identify and examine intervention strategies to assist those people who are at risk.
Designed by experienced educators with substantial experience working as professional counsellors and psychologists, this course will provide you with knowledge of theory, concepts, principles, issues and contexts relevant to working as a counsellor, as well as preparatory skills. In this course, you will focus on the following areas:
lifespan development and counselling approaches relevant to issues experienced during the lifespan
theory and counselling practice that leads towards positive change, effective coping, and mental/emotional well-being
principles, guidelines, and issues in conducting counselling in an ethically appropriate manner
foundational interviewing and counselling skills as an interpersonal process, and the application of these to diverse contexts.
Start of expanded content
For those already within an established career, the course will provide complimentary knowledge and understanding of human behaviour which may be applied to enable a positive, supportive and safe workplace environment.
Successful completion of the Graduate Certificate of Counselling does not guarantee admission into the Master of Counselling course.
