Become a counsellor, gain deep insight into why we think and behave as we do.
At the Institute, we understand the needs of learners from diverse backgrounds. We know how to support individuals in an engaging learning environment and best tailor education to different styles of learning.
In the Diploma of Counselling, we have a mixture of students. Some have a calling for counselling, possibly acting in an informal capacity already; their friends, family or colleagues telling them they should be a counsellor. However, we also have students who are working in community centres and schools, the health sector, or something completely different, who want to upskill or would like to change careers.
