Overview

What will you do at University of Adelaide's Counselling and Psychotherapy program?

You will:

learn from academics with extensive professional counselling experience
build hands-on skills through experiential learning
benefit from case-based learning in small group workshops
gain a core understanding of CBT, grief, attachment theory and ethical practice.
From second year you’ll begin tailoring your studies to your personal interests, eventually choosing between a clinical or research pathway.

Where could it take you?

You could support young people in your community through roles and programs in schools or youth work. You might run a private practice or conduct group therapy at a centre. Perhaps you’ll be a relationship or return-to-work counsellor.

Our clinical pathway graduates can register as a provisional member with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia or as a level 2 member with the Australian Counselling Association. After further clinical experience, graduates are eligible to apply for full registration.
