The Department of Philosophy at the University of Kelaniya offers a Diploma in Counselling Psychology. The program is structured to support students, professionals, and community practitioners who seek academic enrichment or career advancement without committing to a full degree. Additionally, the program typically focuses on foundational areas, including counselling theories, communication techniques, human behaviour, crisis intervention, and ethical practice. Through a combination of classroom learning, supervised practical training, and hands-on activities, the diploma equips learners to assist individuals facing emotional, social, or psychological challenges. It serves as an ideal pathway for teachers, social workers, community leaders, and those interested in pursuing careers or further studies in psychology, counselling, and mental-health services.
