This year prepares students for work in allied counselling related fields but the degree is becoming the minimum standard to work as a counsellor with membership to the New Zealand Counselling Associations.
This is Year 2 of the Bachelor in Counselling and follows successful completion of Year 1 and placement readiness. The focus shifts to a supervised practicum within an approved counselling setting combined with on-campus classes to develop students’ competence and confidence in the Person-Centred counselling approach. Students complete a minimum of 100 hours of face-to-face supervised counselling practice (At least 80 hours must be focussed on working with adults). Classes to deepen the students’ theoretical development are held weekly on Mondays.
Year 2 of the Bachelor of Counselling prepares students for Year 3.
