Counsellor

Dr. Bryan Knight

A counsellor provides support, guidance, and therapeutic interventions to individuals facing personal, emotional, or psychological challenges.

The PsyD degree is designed to train psychologists to become practitioners who specialize in providing psychological services to individuals, couples, families, and groups. Unlike a Ph.D. in Psychology, which emphasizes research and academia, the PsyD places a greater emphasis on clinical training, practical skills development, and supervised clinical experience.
