OUR CLINIC
All counselling at the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Surrey Community Counselling is provided by graduate students (Counsellor-Trainees) in the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Master's program in Counselling Psychology under the direct supervision of the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Master's in Counselling Program instructional team.
OUR COUNSELLOR-TRAINEES
All students in the Counselling Psychology Program complete an important component of their training as professional counsellors at the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV SCC: the Supervised Clinic courses. During these courses, students spend 8 months providing free counselling services to children, youth, and adults in the Surrey community. Registered counsellors and psychologists who teach in the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Counselling Psychology Program directly supervise the students’ work at the Centre.
Counsellor-trainees at the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV SCC are in their second year, and have completed a full year of theoretical and ethical training. In addition, Counsellor-trainees already come to the program with strong backgrounds in community service.
