Australian School Of Holistic Counselling

Welcome to the Australian School of Holistic Counselling (ASHC), a leading provider of holistic counselling and coaching courses designed to empower individuals on their personal and professional growth journeys. Our mission is to cultivate self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-compassion in our students, enabling them to lead fulfilled lives and make a positive impact on the world.

Our school was founded by Madelaine and Lenore, two passionate holistic counsellors and coaches with a combined experience of over 30 years in the field. Their vision was to create a supportive, nurturing environment where students could learn practical tools, techniques, and theories to help others heal and transform. Over the years, ASHC has grown into a vibrant community of like-minded individuals who share a common goal: to make a difference in the world, one person at a time.

Our Approach to Holistic Counselling

At ASHC, we believe that holistic counselling is more than just a profession; it's a way of life. We approach counselling from a holistic perspective, which means we consider the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - in the counselling process. We believe that healing and transformation occur when individuals are able to connect with their inner wisdom, self-awareness, and self-compassion.

Our approach is grounded in evidence-based theories and practices, including cognitive-behavioural therapy, mindfulness, expressive arts therapy, and positive psychology. We also incorporate spiritual and cultural perspectives, recognising that each person's journey is unique and multifaceted.

Student Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it - here's what some of our students have to say about their experience at ASHC:

"I have gained so much more than a new career from this course. I have gained self-confidence, a calmer and more positive mindset, myself and my family have gained a calmer and happier home life. The benefits are endless. It has taken some soul searching but I finally feel like I have found ME. I know what I want out of life now and it is empowering to feel this way." - Deanna

"The information was exceptional. So many valuable practical tools, insights, well presented lectures and all backed with scientific research. You get out of the certification what you put in, but also the next level of information that was provided on the Facebook live videos weekly was an additional boost to my understanding and engagement." - Nicole

"This course was such a beautiful opening into the world of healing. I have gained much more than just a certificate - my whole life has transformed." - Bec
