The Diploma in Counseling Psychology is a programme that equips the trainee with the knowledge and skills of psychological counseling. The practical skills and theoretical basis for practice move from first interview, assessment, management of the counseling process, and techniques of counseling with the goal of personal transformation, and dynamics of termination. All clinical training requires reflection and action in the relational context and theoretical underpinning; the practicum is used as an essential tool. To these ends and goals, this program is developed to meet persons at their multiple points of need.
