About Us

Counselling Academy is your convenient choice for professional development education. Counselling Academy offers the widest range of courses, with convenient online delivery, and the most professional recognition.

Counselling Academy works in conjunction with leading mental health education providers to develop the highest quality online professional development programs, using a convenient portal to enable professionals to easily access, complete and manage their professional development training.

, is a mandatory requirement in almost every regulated industry. is now mandatory with almost all counsellor and mental health registration bodies, at State and National level. If you do not have a commitment to ongoing professional development, you will find it increasingly difficult to practice.

options include workshops, conferences, courses, and many other learning pathways. In a perfect world we’d all love to keep learning. But accessing quality presents challenges. Two of the biggest challenges are:

• It can be difficult finding interesting and appropriate training in your geographic area. There are only so many professional development events within proximity at any point in time. And only a small percentage of these are relevant to you. And this is exacerbated the further you live from a major city.

And,

• It can be cost prohibitive. To attend several events per year is expensive. By the time the presenter has covered their costs and made a small profit; and you’ve paid for travel, lunch and sundries; each event costs hundreds of dollars.

Counselling Academy was created as a practical and high quality solution for mental health professionals and students who are faced with the common challenges cited above.

Our Courses

All Counselling Academy courses are developed by an experienced team consisting of qualified, practicing Psychologists, Counsellors, and Mental Health professionals. You can be assured you are learning from highly qualified leaders in your field.

Some benefits of undertaking Counselling Academy courses include:

• Convenience: Courses are designed to facilitate your ease of comprehension and learning. Where appropriate, courses are supported by audio explanation and/or video demonstration. In these instances you’ll see live demonstration of the skills you’re learning.
  
  
• Progressive Learning: Courses are designed for progressive learning. It’s rare that you have the time and/or desire to study 4 to 10 hours in a single sitting. Courses are designed so you can save your progress at any point and come back to it at your convenience.
  
  
• Time Effectiveness: Counselling Academy courses all range from between 4 to 10 hours duration. All content and assessment is delivered online for your convenience.
  
  
• Cost Effectiveness: Professional development is a mandatory requirement for most professional associations. And it’s not cheap. To attend a Workshop will cost you the attendance fee (often around $100 to $300 per day) + travel costs and time ($20) + lunch and ancillary costs. All up, a professional development workshop will cost you approximately $150 to $500. (And a full day of your time).
  
  

Counselling Academy courses are only $79 each. Why? Because the programs are highly leveraged. A workshop presenter has to amortize costs across 15 to 30 attendees; cover marketing and room hire costs; and make a profit. Counselling Academy costs are amortized across many hundreds of people. The courses are therefore substantially cheaper per unit, whilst maintain or exceeding the content quality.
