Course Aims

The Graduate Diploma in Counselling is designed to develop counselling competencies and provide training for professionals who seek to incorporate advanced counselling skills in their primary occupational role. The aim is to equip our Trainee Counsellors with the knowledge, skills and dispositions to establish and maintain an effective alliance with their Clients in order to assist them to work through issues and concerns towards making an effective change.

The course will introduce our Trainee Counsellors to the major theoretical principles and develop in them an understanding on how various interventions can be applied in counselling settings. Trainee Counsellors  will also learn to competently apply research methodology in a multi-cultural setting. The course is intended to prepare Trainee Counsellors for professional practice as a counsellor in a range of human service organisations.
