Counseling Practicum
This course aims to provide students with increased comfort and confidence in the art of counselling and psychotherapy and/or increased familiarity with how psychological theories and methodologies are used in a practical setting. Students will be attached to a site where psychology is practiced (e.g. hospitals, schools, businesses, jails, police stations, counseling centres) and supervised by psychologists working in the field, in order to gain practical experience in the field of psychological counselling. Student experiences will vary but may include exposure to group and individual therapy, conducting interviews, psychological assessment, interdisciplinary rounds, participating in feedback sessions and collecting empirical data.
