Clincial Counselling Team

Our clinical staff consists of counsellors and psychologists who are licensed professionals. Each year, our team is augmented by graduate-level practicum counsellors and doctoral interns who are supervised by licensed professionals, because UVic is a training university, and we support student learning.

Students attend counselling with a wide range of concerns. Our counselling practitioners will meet you where you are at and work with you to address whatever concern feels most important to you. Common concerns include struggles with stress and anxiety, depression, identity issues, career exploration, grief and loss, relationship issues, and navigating major life transitions. If you’re struggling with these or other issues, and would like one-on-one support, counselling might be a good fit for you.

Before meeting with a counsellor, psychologist, practicum student, or doctoral intern, take time to identify the most important concern you’d like to focus on. If counselling were to make a positive difference in your life, how would you know?
