About Counselling, GradDip - at Murdoch University

Counsellors help people through difficult times in their lives, often when they are most vulnerable. Prepare for a career in counselling by building your personal and professional skills. With a focus on building counselling relationships with your clients that are essential to effective practice, you'll gain the skills you need to succeed in a rewarding career.

You'll have the opportunity to develop professional skills for a career in counselling by critically appraising the counselling literature, learning foundation skills of applied counselling practice, and developing a sound understanding of the core principles of counselling and case conceptualisation.

After graduating from this course, you may apply to study the Master of Counselling and gain exemption from those units that are common to both degrees.
