People often need help - help from someone who will walk alongside them.
Counsellors seek to hear and understand their starting point, and guide them as they move forwards with new health and new hope. In our Bachelor of Counselling degree programme you will gain understanding and knowledge as you develop the skills of relating to people in need and helping them grow and change, step by step. Our faith-based, NZQA approved Bachelor of Counselling programme is a level 7 qualification that opens many opportunities (both paid and voluntary) for graduates to make a difference in the lives of others including positions within: Barnardos New Zealand, CanTeen, Carers New Zealand, churches, Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), schools and many more. Click here for a more comprehensive list. We understand that choosing the right place to study Counselling, is just as important as choosing the degree. Staff at BTI are relational, have a supportive open door policy, and encourage students to be all that can be through learning support and guidance. During your time at BTI, you will grow holistically and academically, gaining understanding and knowledge as you develop the skills of relating to people in need and helping them grow and change, step by step.
