Bachelor of Counselling and Psychotherapy

The Bachelor of Counselling and Psychotherapy offers a holistic understanding of this field, focusing on treating the ‘whole person’. This unique course equips you with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, enabling you to start a new career in counselling and psychotherapy or integrate these skills into your current work. Our teaching approach is integrative and multidisciplinary, and takes into account biological, cultural, sociological, psychological, philosophical, spiritual and psychodynamic factors. What sets us apart is our unique integration of these diverse fields, using scientifically validated processes alongside methods that focus on care for the soul and traditional healing. At Ikon, we highly value self-development and strive to nurture exceptional practitioners who are also wonderful humans. We understand that being an exceptional counsellor goes beyond theoretical knowledge. Through experiential learning and personal development, you will acquire skills to effectively engage with clients and guide them towards healing. Throughout the course, you will engage in ethical and culturally sensitive practices, and use a range of therapeutic models and techniques including a specialised trauma approach that balances the mind, body, and spirit.
