The Transpersonal Counselling Diploma is a challenging and enriching journey towards greater self-awareness and life management leading to confidence and practical skilling. Each module deepens the theory and practice of working holistically with clients and how to case manage their journey in a client-centred process.

The first part of the course is orientated towards applying self-awareness techniques and methods to gain insight into one’s personal mythology and belief system. Transpersonal work is about seeing behind the mask and attempting to experience greater authenticity and creativity in ones life by removing patterns that no longer serve. Because most of our students are mature age, we assume they do have significant life experience and wisdom. This experience is then informed by transpersonal knowledge, so the counsellor/therapist develops their own unique style and emphasis.

The first part of the journey also combines scientific knowledge with traditional healing models and techniques that demonstrate how different cultural beliefs define who is normal and who is not. This learning includes participating in therapeutic dream work, ritual and state change techniques.

The second part of the course directs students towards the application of these techniques when working with clients. Students learn about mainstream mental health models because this is how most people benchmark their mental health. But one of the significant diversions from mainstream approaches is the transpersonal discovery of spiritual crisis and emergence – “break through” not “breakdown” and the relationship between mental health and spiritual experience.

Further, students learn clientcentred counselling techniques, case management, ethics, working with different populations, legal obligations and setting up a practice. It is a very powerful journey facilitated by well trained staff in a supportive group and safe environment.

Student Testimonial: "I have been in Private Practice as a Counsellor and Psy chot herapistalong with facilitation of numerous workshops, groups and lectures for women and coupleson sensuality and feminine energy work for 5 years. When I came to study at PhoenixInstitute, I undertook the Diploma of Transpersonal Counselling because I wanted to furthermy understanding of the soul’s journey within a prof ess ional and academic setting. I certainly found that, and more. While grounded in sound practical theory, within eachModule is also (and importantly for me) a rich world of psychospiritual techniques, which are often overlooked or just ‘touched on’ in more traditional counselling schools. This also allowed for my own personal journey to progress and transform as deep insights and learning emerged during the course. Thirteen years on I have incorporated many of the invaluable techniques learned, in my ongoing healing work with clients, in group andworkshop settings."
