Graduate Diploma of Counselling

at Australian College of Applied Professions

The Graduate Diploma of Counselling provides students with professional training in counselling knowledge, skills and interventions applicable to contemporary counselling and mental health care. Students of this course will formulate an evolving approach to counselling practice, based on theoretical and technical integration.

Gaining real world experience through the application of learning in professional placement opportunities, graduates are critically reflective, fit to practice effectively and ethically with diverse populations of individuals, groups, and communities in our rapidly changing world. This course is designed for students who have a degree in another discipline and want to qualify as a counsellor without undertaking an undergraduate qualification. It also provides direct pathway to the Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy course at ACAP.
