Bachelor of Counselling

Counselling

Counsellors journey with individuals, couples, and families as they face their challenges, grow and make changes. BTI’s degree in counselling offers students a unique blend of courses that allow growth in heart, mind and awareness.

In our Bachelor of Counselling three-year degree programme you will experience personal growth and transformation, while gaining the knowledge and skills to support children, young people and adults facing grief, trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and social or cultural disconnection.

This programme is available either onsite at the BTI campus or by distance from anywhere in New Zealand. All students attend block courses on campus once per semester, normally in February/March and August.

Full-time study requires 35–40 hours per week. Part-time students should allow approximately one day per week for each course studied.
