Sea to Tree Health & Wellness

In lieu of charging for our placement or supervision the following are required components of our practicum program:

• the opportunity to work with a variety of clients, including children, youth, individuals, couples and families
• client / group and workshops work on weekdays, evenings and weekends at both our Sooke and Colwood locations via in person, video conferencing and eco sessions
• develop and co-facilitate groups/workshops with other Sea to Tree Health & Wellness practicum students
• actively participate in our wellness programs in southern Vancouver Island locations
• community engagements and events, such as open houses and marketing events
• client referrals based on your focus and experience

Students receive weekly group supervision (virtual or in person), or one hour of supervision for every five client hours. This allows you to receive immediate feedback and training to promote positive outcomes for clients and nurture professional development. It is the responsibility of the student to seek supervision by an additional supervisor, at the cost of the student, if they require guidance outside of the Clinical Director/Supervisors scope of practice. Once you have completed your practicum requirements, you have the opportunity to apply to become an intern counsellor while awaiting certification.
