Graduate-level students
All of our practicum counsellors are in their final stage of completing their master’s degree before becoming fully registered counsellors.
Fully supervised
Students work under the direct supervision of experienced counsellors and receive ongoing support and guidance to ensure professional, high-quality care.
Worry-free support
Practicum counsellors work with mild to moderate presenting concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and interpersonal struggles. If an issue falls outside the scope of a practicum counsellor’s practice, they will work with you to find referrals to other professionals who can provide appropriate support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a practicum counsellor and an intern?
A practicum counsellor is a student in the final stage of their Master’s degree, requiring a minimum number of direct counselling hours to graduate.
An intern counsellor has already completed their Master’s degree and is working on accumulating additional clinical hours in order to register with a professional association.
Are practicum and intern counsellors qualified to support me?
Absolutely. We maintain high standards when selecting students for our practicum program. Students must not only exhibit a strong academic foundation, but also demonstrate relevant life experience and professional expertise.
Once accepted into our program, each practicum counsellor receives continuous supervision and guidance from our experienced supervision team, ensuring professional, high-quality care.
Can I claim low-cost counselling sessions on my benefits?
Unfortunately, low-cost counselling sessions are typically not eligible for reimbursement through extended health benefits. Most benefits providers require the services to be provided by a licensed professional, such as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), Registered Social Worker (RSW), or Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), to qualify for coverage. If you’re unsure about your coverage, we recommend checking with your benefits provider for specific details.
