The student's counselling skills will be critiqued for further refinement and accuracy.  "Clients" typically come from our Facebook group and are other students. However, they can also be individuals who are not students.

Care is taken that students do not take on clients with issues beyond their area of competence. There is also ample time for questions the student might have within the consultations with the instructor. The Instructor, Diane Auld has been in private practice for 17 Years and shares her extensive experience with students.
