Counselling psychology emphasizes wellness and personal growth, working together with clients to reach mental health goals. Consider AUT's Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling Psychology program.
This postgraduate diploma provides a route to becoming a registered psychologist in New Zealand.
Typically, students complete the Master of Health Science in Psychology before undertaking the Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling Psychology - the final academic requirement for New Zealand Psychologists' Board registration. Counseling psychologists recognize how medical, social, and cultural factors influence both mental health challenges and effective treatment approaches, ensuring sensitive care for diverse needs.
