The Graduate Certificate in Counselling (Bridging Course) is perfect for individuals considering counselling as a potential career change or vocational path, allowing them to assess whether they wish to pursue further education in this field.

Participants will gain insight into both the benefits and difficulties of professional counselling, while learning fundamental techniques, ethical principles, and understanding relationship dynamics in various contexts.

This program also benefits professionals in support-oriented roles that involve some counseling elements (such as teaching, healthcare, ministry, law enforcement, etc.), helping them enhance their interpersonal abilities to better assist others.
It's equally valuable for those without previous university experience who want to explore counselling while testing their readiness for advanced academic work.
Successful completion allows progression into either the Graduate Diploma of Counselling or Master of Counselling programs, with credits counting toward 50% of the Diploma and 25% of the Master's requirements.
