Description

Contemporary human needs include mental health care and wellbeing. This programme addresses these growing needs by equipping you as a professional, and allowing you to explore, identify and examine intervention strategies to assist those who are at risk.

Designed by experienced educators with substantial experience working as professional counsellors and psychologists, this programme will provide you with knowledge of theories, concepts, principles, issues, and contexts relevant to working as a counsellor, as well as preparatory skills.

In this programme, you will focus on the following areas:

  • Lifespan development and counselling approaches relevant to issues experienced throughout the lifespan
  • Theory and counselling practice that leads to 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.

For those already with an established career, the programme will provide complementary knowledge and understanding of human behaviour which may be applied to enable a positive, supportive and safe workplace environment.
