What is counselling?

Counselling is one of many mental health studies that falls under the general heading of mental health. It involves studying how people think and what influences behaviour, especially in regards to people with mental illness.

A career in counselling will see you working in an industry that’s challenging but incredibly rewarding. Counselling qualifications can set you up for a career to get started in immediately, but can also be the perfect foundation for a degree in psychology or even psychiatry.

Studying counselling

Becoming a counsellor in Australia requires you to undertake some form of formal training and accreditation. Counselling courses at TAFE are one of the most popular options, but different institutions may offer specialty courses, such as holistic counselling courses or mixed psychology and counselling courses. There are counselling courses in Melbourne, counselling courses in Perth, and counselling courses in a variety of other cities around Australia. With the increase of online courses, even if you live in a rural area, you can learn to be a counsellor via distance learning.

A list of some possible courses is provided below:

  • Certificate in Counselling
  • Certificate in Abnormal Psychology
  • Introduction to Psychology
  • Certificate in Mental Health
  • Certificate in Child Psychology
  • Diploma of Counselling and Psychology

Formal Accreditation:

Most longer-term counselling courses will provide you with a counselling accreditation for Australia from the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. Not all short courses will provide you with this accreditation as some are designed to give you an introduction for further studies, or alternatively as a specialty training for people who already have accreditation. Refer to specific courses for information in regards to accreditation.

Working as a counsellor:

Working as a counsellor can serve a number of different purposes. It can be your final career destination or a way to practice your skills while you undertake further psychology training. There is a huge range of specialties for people who want to work in a particular field, creating a range of possible careers. Some of these possible careers include:

  • Drug or Alcohol Counsellor
  • Student or School Counsellor
  • Private Practice Counsellor
  • Marriage Counsellor
  • Health and Welfare Manager
  • Corporate Counsellor

Is working as a counsellor right for you?

No matter what area of counselling you want to work in or specialise in, there are a number of skills that counsellors need to have or be able to learn. These skills include:

  • Active listener
  • Have self-awareness
  • Be passionate about mental health
