Counselling
We offer counselling in undergraduate programs with a minor and major in counselling, as well as Graduate certificate, Graduate Diploma and Masters of Counselling.
As a graduate in our Graduate Diploma and Masters counselling courses, you will learn to work holistically with a diverse range of client concerns from across the lifespan, valuing social and cultural contexts. You will demonstrate competence in rapport building, empathy, reflective listening, case formulation and clinical interventions.
A core component of the training is a university facilitated work placement. This provides practical professional experience that will prepare you for future employment.
