Counselling Course Testimonials

"The Master of Counselling gave me the skills and understanding to confidently work with clients in both Christian and secular settings. During the course, my understanding of self strengthened; my worldview expanded through interaction with insightful and proficient lecturers; friendships developed to form a supportive peer network; and practicum allowed me to integrate theory and practice - all underpinned from a Christian perspective, with the support and encouragement of Wesley Institute staff." |

"I have been a Masters of Counselling student at Wesley Institute for the past 4 years, studying part time. It has been transforming both from a self development perspective as well as equipping me to counsel with integrity in both the faith based and secular workplace. I have enjoyed the rich discussions that happen during lectures, with students and lecturers of varying ages and from diverse professional, cultural and religious backgrounds. We have learnt a great deal from each other in addition to the course content. The course is demanding intellectually and emotionally but has been worth the effort. It has challenged me spiritually and matured my faith, equipping me to understand where theology and psychology meet and how a Christian worldview can be expressed appropriately as a Counsellor. The Wesley Institute Masters of Counselling course is accredited and meets the education, practicum and supervision requirements for membership to professional associations that are recognised by PACFA so this is a significant advantage if you are looking for quality education and professional recognition in the workplace after graduation." |

"The course challenged me to expand my worldview and challenge my ideas about myself, relationships and God. The personal work we do in each subject is very revealing and took me on a personal journey. - My favourite aspect was the peer support and friendships I gained in the course, which have continued, and the variety of counselling theories taught by passionate and supportive lecturers that that have helped me frame my theoretical approach." |

"Through my degree I learnt a lot about who I am and why I do the things I do, and I think what it’s all about is becoming 'real'. One of my greatest joys in counselling was getting to know my classmates and their life stories; sharing their journeys toward becoming ‘real’. It’s been such a pleasure to know them and I’m really going to miss those times of deep sharing. I actually enjoy everything about Wesley!" Wesley Institute Valedictorian 2007 |

"To me it’s been a most enjoyable part of my life. I worked most of my life as an airline pilot so this was like a second career and something totally different. Working with wonderful people, the students, the faculty, the learning and just putting the whole thing together was just a most enjoyable experience. It’s been really useful and I’m doing some work as a counsellor with what I’ve learnt. It has been really helpful and I feel like I have a really good knowledge base to build my profession as a counsellor." |
