About This Programme

The Diploma in Psychology and Counselling is a comprehensive, career-focused programme designed to develop practical knowledge and professional skills in psychology, counselling, human behaviour, mental health, communication, emotional wellbeing, and client support using modern counselling approaches and evidence-based practices.

This programme takes learners from the fundamentals of psychology through advanced concepts including human growth and development, counselling theories and techniques, mental health awareness, interpersonal communication, emotional intelligence, stress management, crisis intervention, ethics in counselling, and positive psychology. Students will gain hands-on experience in understanding human behaviour, applying counselling techniques, improving communication and active listening skills, supporting individuals with emotional and psychological challenges, conducting case discussions, and developing practical counselling competencies through interactive learning activities, case studies, role plays, and real-world scenarios. Delivered online in both English and Tamil, the programme is ideal for school leavers, undergraduates, working professionals, teachers, healthcare and community workers, parents, aspiring counsellors, and anyone seeking to build professional knowledge in psychology and counselling. The flexible evening schedule, combined with recorded sessions and learning resources, enables students to learn at their own pace while balancing personal and professional commitments. By the end of the programme, learners will have developed practical counselling and communication skills, gained exposure to contemporary psychological concepts and ethical counselling practices, and acquired the confidence to pursue opportunities in counselling, psychology-related support services, education, healthcare, community development, human resources, social services, personal development, and other people-focused professional careers.
