Diploma of Holistic Counselling Practice ( 21346VIC)

Over the last ten years, but more particularly in the last five years, there has been a developing awareness of the complex causes of depression, mental illness, anxiety, psycho-symptomatic disorders and dysfunctional family structures and an increasing commitment to research into these phenomena. Generally, approaches to these issues have been via medical models with an emphasis on drug treatment. However, recent years have seen the development of a number of alternative approaches to treatment. A more educated and critical society is demanding non-medical approaches to psychological problems, spiritual growth and wellbeing. Alternative methods of dealing with these issues often require a more holistic approach.

Holistic counselling draws on both new and traditional understandings of body, mind, soul and spirit to offer new ways of healing human distress.

The course will be of benefit both to experienced counsellors who wish to add to their understanding and skills in this specialised area and to people entering the counselling profession and wishing to develop a holistic approach to counselling.

The course is made up of 12 three day modules taken over two years and one three hour weekly evening tutorial.

Accreditation

The course nationally recognised under the National Traning Information Service (NTIS). It is accredited by the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).
