Diploma in Teachers Counselling
The Academy's flagship qualification, preparing teachers to support the whole student — academically, emotionally and psychologically. The 2026 cohort is now open.
A counselling qualification built for people already teaching.
Delivered online or hybrid so it can be taken alongside a full teaching load, and structured around the situations that actually arrive in a classroom rather than a clinical caseload.
- Offered by
- Global Gyaan Academy
- Mode
- Online / Hybrid
- Audience
- Teachers, principals, lecturers, counsellors and aspiring educators
- Structure
- Four units, with assignments, case studies and a practicum component

Four units, built for real classroom application
Each unit closes with case-study work drawn from situations reported by practising teachers.
- 01
Unit One — Foundations of Counselling
Student psychology, core counselling technique, active listening and emotional intelligence.
- 02
Unit Two — Classroom and Behavioural Support
Behaviour management, classroom counselling, student motivation and inclusive education.
- 03
Unit Three — Crisis and Wellness
Stress management, crisis identification, child protection and the teacher's own wellbeing.
- 04
Unit Four — Communication and Practice
Parent communication, practical case studies, documentation and reporting, and ethics in counselling.
The point is not to turn every teacher into a therapist. It is to make sure that no child's distress goes unnoticed simply because nobody in the building knew what they were looking at.
