ECU’s Graduate Certificate in Counselling has been developed to evolve with rapidly changing market trends in the counselling industry. This online degree, delivered in accelerated learning mode, provides students with a range of skills and knowledge that can be applied across work settings, client types and cultural groups. Students will be introduced to humanistic, behavioural and cognitive-behavioural therapies and ways of adapting these approaches for delivery across a range of face-to-face, over the phone, and online modalities. Reflecting the need for ethical diversity, the course supports students to appreciate the variety of human experience and the need to deliver flexible, meaningful and effective counselling practices in unique and far-reaching ways. Students can apply for the Masters of Counselling upon successful completion of this course.
