What is Holistic Counselling?
Holistic counselling harnesses a diverse array of techniques from various modalities to personalize a holistic approach for each client's unique healing requirements.
It acknowledges the complexity of individual experiences, recognizing that no single method universally addresses all client challenges.
It acknowledges the complexity of individual experiences, recognizing that no single method universally addresses all client challenges.
Positive psychology focuses on the client's inherent strengths and virtues, empowering them to overcome challenges and achieve personal growth.
Combining mindfulness practices with creative therapies and holistic counselling skills creates a balanced, integrative framework that addresses the mind, body, and spirit, supporting clients in building a strong foundation for long-term well-being.
Through thoughtfully curated modules, students explore human behaviour, wellness, and therapeutic interventions. From foundational holistic counselling principles to advanced techniques integrating in-depth studies of positive psychology, the course offers a transformative learning journey.
Develop an advanced understanding of the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, and learn how holistic approaches empower comprehensive well-being.
This evidence-based and heart-centred professional program provides hands-on supervised practice, refining counselling skills and integrating evidence-based research for holistic well-being.
Whether you're new to counselling or aiming to enrich your existing practice, our Master Practitioner of Holistic Counseling program offers a transformative route to becoming a skilled and compassionate professional.
Why Understanding Meditation is Vital for Holistic Counsellors
Meditation and mindfulness are essential tools for holistic counsellors because they offer profound, evidence-based methods for managing stress, fostering emotional well-being, and improving overall health.
In today’s fast-paced world, chronic stress has become a major contributor to physical and mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, heart disease, and weakened immunity. In fact, stress is the precursor to the three major causes of premature death!
Learning how to teach meditation and mindfulness allows holistic counsellors to equip their clients with powerful techniques for navigating these challenges and managing stress.
Integrating meditation and mindfulness practices into therapy sessions is vital for holistic counsellors. Not only do these practices empower clients to take control of their stress and anxiety, but they also foster self-awareness and inner peace, which are critical for healing.
Students of this program receive their industry-accredited Meditation Teachers Certificate after the first term. If they wish, they can begin developing their wellbeing practice and earning an income as they work through the rest of the program.

Creative Therapies
Many people struggle to express their thoughts, feelings and trauma in words. This can often make talk therapy useless when used alone.
Combining creative therapies with positive psychology (virtue and strength-based approaches) in a holistic counselling course offers a multi-dimensional approach to healing and personal development.
Creative therapies such as art, sculpture, drama, and music allow clients to explore and express emotions and experiences that might be difficult to articulate verbally, promoting self-awareness and emotional release.
