The Professional Counsellor Program provides students with the requisite counseling theory and skills required to support clients in addressing and solving real-life problems, coping with life’s crises, addressing inner conflict, developing personal insights, engaging in self-care, and nurturing healthy interpersonal relationships, all in the context of working as part of and within an interdisciplinary healthcare service.

Graduates of this program will be qualified to work in Employee & Family Assistance Programs, private practices, health and wellness clinics, educational institutions, treatment centers, government and not-for-profit organizations, and human resource departments.
