We recruit actively, and listen to clients' feedback for quality assurance. If a counsellor is not maintaining our standards, they are no longer given referrals.
All our counsellors have a minimum of a Masters Degree, in either Counselling Psychology or Social Work. All are licensed with a provincial or national registering body requiring professional liability insurance and enforces a strict code of ethics. All specialise in short-term therapy, including CBT or solution-focused modalities, to address issues like stress, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting, grief, etc.
Some BCI counsellors have additional training in trauma, addictions, abuse counselling, anger management, etc. As well, some counsellors deal with specific populations like the LGBTQ community, Indigenous community and young children.
While we emphasize face-to-face counselling for clinical reasons, telephone or video conference counselling can be arranged.
