When We’re Open

Wednesday evenings.
All appointments must be scheduled ahead by calling 604.587.7320.
Supervision of Counsellor-Trainees
Student-counsellors are supervised by qualified instructors from their university graduate
program. Because the Centre is a training unit, student-counsellors are required to record each
session and/or be viewed through a monitor by their university supervisor. This ensures that each
client receives the best possible service based on feedback from an experienced supervisor. This
supervision process is the standard training method in high-quality, ethically aware counsellor
education programs.
Clients must:
• Be ok with seeing graduate level counselor trainees
• Be ok with being video recorded
• Not be involved in any legal proceedings or active legal cases/ concerns
