In BC, Registered Clinical Counsellors hold a Master's Degree and are registered with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. We provide counselling support for various mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and more, but we do not diagnose. We see you as the expert in your own life. Psychologists, on the other hand, hold a PsyD or PhD and can provide assessments and diagnoses in addition to counselling support.
