What Our Graduates Say
When I came across the Metavision curriculum, I felt an instant knowing that this was it: the holistic, mind-body approach I had been looking for.
The two-year journey I went on exceeded my expectations. I not only learnt useful theories and frameworks to support my work, but also gained invaluable knowledge about myself in the process. I have broadened my understanding of what it means to live holistically, and to practice the healing arts from that place too.

Holistic Counselling Starts Here
The Graduate Diploma of Counselling (Holistic Practice) is a one-year postgraduate course designed to support those who are beginning – or seeking to reimagine – their journey into the healing professions.
Rooted in Metavision’s unique blend of process-oriented psychology and holistic methodologies, this course offers an integrative approach that welcomes all aspects of the human experience — mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational.
You’ll gain not only foundational counselling skills, but also tools for self-awareness, energy-based understanding, and authentic therapeutic presence.
This program is ideal for:
- Career changers seeking work with depth and meaning
- Professionals in adjacent fields (wellbeing, education, coaching) looking to deepen their skills
- Students curious about holistic therapy but not ready to commit to a longer program
What Makes Metavision Different?
We teach more than counselling. Metavision guides you into self-awareness, presence, and purpose – the foundations of conscious, holistic practice.
An Inner-First Approach
We believe the journey of becoming a therapist starts with knowing yourself, and meeting others from that place.
Holistic Integration That Honors the Whole Self
Learn to work across mind, body, energy, and relational systems, integrating diverse modalities into a cohesive, transformative approach.
Transformation as a Teaching Method
This isn’t surface-level. You’ll be invited into real, supported change as part of your training.
Relational Teaching Model
We foster co-creative learning, where dialogue, reflection, and mutual respect shape the learning space.
A Living Learning Community
Join a community that values depth, authenticity, and the kind of connection that extends beyond the classroom.
Words from the Heart of Our Community
Studying with Metavision was both challenging and deeply rewarding. Learning alongside others who were eager to explore Process Work through the lens of lived experience – in a safe, supportive environment – was profoundly enriching. The spiritual dimension of the training continues to shape my practice every day, offering tools and perspectives I return to often.
I highly recommend Metavision to anyone seeking truly transformational learning in this field.
