Study without putting life on hold.
You shouldn't have to choose between your current responsibilities and your dream of studying. Our ACA-accredited CHC51015 Diploma of Counselling is built for busy adults juggling work, family and a hundred other commitments.
Mix self-paced learning with live-broadcast and face-to-face sessions via live broadcast, and earn a respected qualification without sacrificing your income or your family time. Come back to study without the guilt.
Every student completes these thirteen units, whichever specialisation you choose. They cover the counselling relationship end-to-end. First contact, theory, therapy selection, case management, and your legal and ethical obligations.
Build a broad counselling skill set rather than a single focus. Mix and match up to four units below. This is useful if you want to keep your options open, or if you work across more than one client group.
Point all four electives at one field and graduate with a focus. Each pathway is a guided set of four units — no need to assemble it yourself.
Support clients through loss, bereavement and life transitions.
Build skills to support a wide range of mental health challenges.
Learn evidence-based hypnosis techniques for therapeutic change.
