Course Description The Master of Counselling prepares graduates for a career in counselling. This practical program focuses on the counselling relationship as the key feature of effective counselling practice. Throughout the course critical appraisal of selected counselling literature and research is combined with extensive practical training, building each graduate’s personal and professional capacity for a counselling career.
