Description:The MA Counselling Psychology is a scientist-practitioner onsite full-time degree, which prepares you to work as a professional counsellor in community agencies and public institutions that serve a diverse range of clientele. Counselling faculty draw from different theoretical orientations to expose you to current thinking in feminist-informed, cognitive-behavioral and existential practices with individuals, families and communities. The thesis requirement prepares you to be both consumers and producers of research. The eight-month internship with experienced counsellors in child and family services, schools, colleges and universities, as well as mental health and justice settings, prepares you for counselling practice in specialized areas of interest.
