Course Code: P1054
The Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling is a 1 year full-time, (or part-time equivalent), postgraduate program that supports students in developing professional competence and personal readiness for a career in counselling. The program is committed to experiential learning, with an emphasis on the counselling relationship, the key feature of effective counselling practice. The critical appraisal of counselling literature combined with a practicum in our Counsellor Training Centre provides students with the opportunity to develop their counselling practice.
Students who complete the Postgraduate Diploma may apply for admission to the Master of Counselling and will be exempt from the units already completed which are common to both degrees.
