Are you a graduate with experience in pastoral care, counselling and mentoring, wishing to extend your training and range of interventions and become a registered counsellor?
Eastern’s Master of Community Counselling explores the oppressive community practices that affect people’s lives and seek to find liberating practices to improve personal social and emotional wellbeing, to strengthen respectful relationships, for community connectedness.
Our graduates are mindful, holistic practitioners who can effectively understand and analyse their clients’ concerns, and develop effective interventions. Our course expands the traditional individual focus of counselling, exploring the concepts of community, justice and deep level emancipation.
This course is recognised by the Australian Community Counselling Association (ACCA) as suitable for registration as a community counsellor.
In each semester there is a theory unit and an accompanying reflective unit to reflect on your practical counselling and community practices:
Students need to complete 200 hours of counselling and 50 hours of supervision over the two years of the degree. These hours can be undertaken in your current workplace if you wish.
Students attend two intensive days at the college the beginning of first semester, then weekly zoom sessions, early afternoon and repeated in the evenings. So interstate students are welcome, and need only make one trip to Melbourne for the intensive at the beginning.
Students are invited to field trips if they are available, locally interstate or overseas.
