This 24 month (2 year) course is nationally recognised and has been contextualised to meet the values of Christianity and reflects the role of Christian counsellors who work with clients on personal and psychological issues using established counselling modalities. They use communication, micro-counselling and interviewing skills and draw on varied counselling therapies to assist clients. At this level, the counsellor will be working in defined and supported counselling roles in established agencies rather than in independent practice. This course is delivered and assessed in Korean.
