Counselling is a cross-disciplinary pathway into a career in helping human beings in distress. In counselling, clients learn and change within a dedicated helping relationship, in which high levels of skill, sensitivity, self knowledge and ethical conduct are required of the helper.
The Graduate Certificate in Counselling is aimed at those who hold an existing degree in a recognised helping profession, and are already working in counselling, but who wish to upgrade their level of basic skills in this demanding area via a sequenced, cumulative training in basic skills and concomitant self awareness. Most recognised 'helping professions' include some counselling training.
