About Counselling, MCounsel - at Murdoch University

Counsellors help people through difficult times of 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.

Apply the theoretical foundations of counselling by first appraising selected counselling literature and research, before undertaking extensive practical training. In your second year, you'll have the option to complete a substantial research project addressing counselling theory or practice, or choose to complete the course through coursework and case studies.

You'll complete two supervised placements, which will provide you the opportunity to develop skills in assessment, individual and group treatment, working with children and adult clients, working with other professionals and within the supervisory relationship.
