Hello!

Intothediploma

The Diploma of Professional Counselling is supported by a number of optional Advanced Study Majors. Advanced Study Majors allow you to study and gain advanced knowledge and skill in the specialised counselling area of your choice.

 

The Advanced Study Major Program involves the completion of one or more optional Advanced Study Majors in addition to the Diploma of Professional Counselling. The Majors provide you with the opportunity to specialise in any of the following highly relevant fields of counselling:

 

The Majors are specifically designed to provide you with a higher level of practical and theoretical knowledge in a specialised field of counselling. You are able to enrol into an Advanced Study Major at the time of your enrolment into the Diploma of Professional Counselling, or at any subsequent time.

 

The advantage of early enrolment in an Advanced Study Major is that studies can be completed concurrently with your Diploma. There is also no limit on the number of Advanced Study Majors you can undertake and they can be completed by either external or face-to-face modes of study.

 

For further information about the Diploma and the ASM Program, please contact your closest Student Support Centre.

Staff Profile - Delphine Lloyd-Jones

 

 

Position: Education Adviser and Assessor

Location: Head Office

 

Delphine has been working at the Institute for over 1 year now as Education Adviser and Assessor for the Diploma of Counselling. She attained her Diploma with the Institute and is currently undertaking a Vocational Graduate Diploma in Counselling, specialising in Family Therapy and Grief, which are areas of specific interest to her.

 

Prior to her position with AIPC, she worked in Mental Health support for several years with the Commonwealth Rehabilitation Service. She enjoyed her work there very much.

 

Personally, Delphine enjoys camping in remote places out in bush or by the sea, being active and keeping fit and singing. She has a wonderful teenage daughter and an annoying cat called Tom, who gets fussed over way too much.
