Bachelor of Counselling

The Bachelor of Counselling aims to develop graduates who are able to practise professionally according to the values and ethics of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC). As such they will have the knowledge and skills to enable them to be competent, critical and reflective beginning practitioners with a sound theoretical base from which to practise; and the skills to practise independently and co-operatively within a culturally diverse and ethically appropriate counselling context. They will meet the competencies specified by NZAC for provisional membership as counselling practitioners.
