Affordable Counselling with Counselling Interns

Our Counselling Interns are graduate practicum students who are in the final stages of their Master’s training. They bring fresh perspectives, compassion, and dedication to their work while gaining valuable hands-on experience. To ensure the highest standard of care, all sessions are directly supervised by Kate Kolskog, Registered Psychologist & Clinical Director. This structure provides clients with professional, ethical, and supportive counselling while allowing interns to grow their skills under close mentorship.
