Masters of Counselling (Clinical Mental Health)

Masters of Counselling (Clinical Mental Health) at Sunway University focuses on preparing counselling professionals for clinical mental health practice. The programme combines counselling theory with supervised practice, helping students build the knowledge and applied skills needed to work with mental health concerns in community settings. It also points to professional preparation aligned with registration requirements from the Board of Counsellors (Malaysia).

The learning experience is broad and practice-oriented, with attention to behavioural assessment, intervention, ethics, multicultural competence, and the use of scientific and digital approaches in counselling. Students can also explore specialist interests through electives and gain exposure to practical training and collaborative research links through Sunway Medical Centre. The result is a postgraduate course that balances academic depth with hands-on professional development over two years.
