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 as well as gaining the knowledge and skills for supporting children, young people and adults when they are facing grief, past and current abuse/ trauma, addictions, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, lack of confidence, anxiety, depression and social/cultural disconnection.

This programme is available either onsite at the BTI campus or from anywhere in New Zealand by distance learning. All students, whether distance or on campus, will be required to attend block courses on campus at BTI once every semester, in March and August.
Full-time study requires a commitment of 35–40 hours each week for both onsite and distance students. Part-time students should allow a day each week for each course studied.
Graduates of this degree will be eligible to gain professional association membership and take up counselling and therapy roles in community agencies, churches and, when ready, private practice.
