Bachelor of Counselling and Psychotherapy

The Bachelor of Counselling and Psychotherapy is designed to provide graduates with a broad and coherent body of knowledge relating to the field of counselling and psychotherapy, with an emphasis on embedding a conceptual framework and model of psychotherapeutic practice for the ‘whole person’.

The degree provides you with the theoretical knowledge and therapeutic skills you need to integrate counselling into your existing career or to establish a new career as a counsellor and psychotherapist. This unique course is holistic in that it is inclusive of methods that care for the soul, traditional healing methods and science practitioner methods. Through this you will learn to assist your clients in moving forward towards healing.

Through your experiential learning and personal development, you will learn the skills to engage with clients. You will learn a range of therapeutic models and techniques to engage in ethically and culturally sensitive practices informed by theory, including a specialised trauma informed ‘mind, body and spirit’ approach.
