Graduate Diploma of Counselling
Torrens University Australia, Multi-campus, national, Australia
About this program
The graduate diploma runs eight core subjects over one year full time, extending the Graduate Certificate of Counselling into supervised practice: mental health, digital counselling, advanced counselling skills, and a Clinical Practice and Supervision subject that provides supervised work placement.
Students without a related prior degree must complete the Graduate Certificate of Counselling first, a professional-accreditation requirement. The course is a standalone qualification, a route into counselling practice, or a pathway to the Master of Counselling.
Delivered fully online.
Note: the current course page does not publish a separate international-student English language requirement; confirm directly with Torrens International Admissions before applying as an international student.
