Why Choose a Canadian Certified Counsellor?"Counselling is the skilled and principled use of relationship to facilitate self- knowledge, emotional acceptance and growth, and the optimal development of personal resources. The overall aim of Counsellors is to provide an opportunity for people to work towards living more satisfyingly and resourcefully. Counselling relationships will vary according to need but may be concerned with developmental issues, addressing and resolving specific problems, making decisions, coping with crisis, developing personal insights and knowledge, working through feelings of inner conflict or improving relationships with others." -- CCPA The Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) was established in 1986, with the goal to regulate the professional practice of Counsellors and Psychotherapists in Canada. Counsellors who have been certified by the CCPA, gain the title Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). This designation identifies to the public that the Counsellor is qualified to provide counselling services in Canada. The CCC designation recognizes that the Counsellor has obtained a high standard of professional preparation, education, and supervision requirements. Canadian Certified Counsellors are held accountable to their clients through the CCPA's Code of Ethics, Standards of Clinical Practice, continuing education, supervision requirements, and the Ethical Complaints Procedure. All Canadian Certified Counsellor's must pass a Criminal Records Check and carry professional liability insurance. |
