At South Island Counselling, we believe that quality mental health support should be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances.
Our $35 counselling program provides affordable, low-cost individual therapy in Victoria, BC, through graduate-level practicum counsellors who receive extensive clinical supervision.
Our practicum counsellors are completing the clinical training component of their master's-level counselling education. They bring current knowledge of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, developing clinical skills, and often valuable professional and life experience to their work.
With ongoing guidance from experienced clinical supervisors, they provide compassionate, individualized support for concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions.
Quality Counselling Backed by Experienced Clinical Supervision
At South Island Counselling, our practicum counsellors benefit from a comprehensive supervision program designed to support their professional development and provide thoughtful, responsible client care.
Our clinical supervisors are experienced Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs), most of whom also hold the Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) designation.
Our supervision program includes:
• Weekly clinical supervision with an experienced, qualified supervisor.
• Regular group supervision and staff meetings that provide opportunities for professional learning, collaboration, and case consultation
.
• Ongoing access to our Director of Clinical Services, who is available for additional guidance and consultation when needed.
• A collaborative clinical environment that encourages reflection, professional growth, and evidence-informed counselling practices.
This combination of current graduate-level education, experienced clinical supervision, and ongoing professional support provides a strong foundation for our practicum counsellors as they develop their skills and support clients through a range of life challenges.
Affordable counselling should never mean compromising our commitment to quality care.
