Course Description Our Graduate Certificate in Counselling gives you the opportunity to develop counselling skills that you can utilise in your current employment rolls, such as teaching, health care, or human services. It is a starting point where you can begin to develop professional competence and personal readiness for a career in counselling. The course is committed to experiential learning, enabling you to focus on quality of counselling relationships as a key feature of effective counselling practice. After graduating from this course you may apply for admission to the Graduate Diploma in Counselling, Graduate Diploma in Creative Arts Therapies or Masters in Counselling and will be exempt from the units already completed which are common to both degrees. The Graduate Certificate is a step towards the Graduate Diploma in Counselling or Graduate Diploma in Creative Arts Therapies, which are both accredited by the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), or the Master of Counselling degree which has Professional Accreditation with Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).
