Course overview
The Master of Counselling, a Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) accredited program, aims to develop essential clinical competencies, foster reflective awareness and provide a sound theoretical foundation for a career as a professional counsellor. The degree which integrates contemporary counselling theory, research and practice, contextualised within a Christian worldview and a mental health framework, develops counsellors who understand the personal, cultural, relational, psychological, social and spiritual domains of human experience and functioning, who are professionally and ethically informed, who will be sensitive to the diversity and uniqueness of individuals, families, and communities, and who will value and promote the dignity, potential and well-being of all people. Further, the degree emphasises reflective practice - thoughtful, discerning and compassionate engagement with contemporary mental health issues, resulting in graduates able to work across a range of populations within both secular and non-secular settings (e.g. counselling agencies, welfare organisations, community centres, schools/educational institutions, etc.) including private practice. The course is designed for those wanting to train to become a professional counsellor, graduating with an industry-recognised and industry-accredited Masters of Counselling.
