Counselling with MACP Student
These sessions are conducted by a Student Therapist currently completing their clinical training. Because your therapist is a student, all of their clinical work is directly overseen by a qualified supervisor to ensure safety, quality of care, and proper professional standards. Sessions conducted by a Student Therapist are NOT eligible for reimbursement under any insurance plan.
Important Scope of Practice Note: Because our Student Interns are in training, we cannot accommodate immediate crisis care, active psychosis, severe unmanaged addiction, or forensic/court-ordered evaluations. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact your local crisis line or go to the nearest emergency department.

Confidential, supervised counselling with MACP student therapists
Finding quality mental health support should not depend on your financial situation. Our low-cost counselling program in Winnipeg offers accessible, confidential individual therapy with student interns who are completing their Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP).
How Counselling with a MACP Student Therapist Works
- Qualified guidance: Every MACP student holds a relevant bachelor's degree and has completed advanced graduate coursework in ethics, psychotherapy theories and intervention techniques.
- Direct supervision: Licensed or Registered Clinical Supervisors actively supervise each intern and review treatment plans, so you receive high-quality care.
- Fresh perspective: MACP counselling students bring current, evidence-based practices, dedicated energy and small caseloads, which lets them focus closely on your care.

What You Can Work On in Counselling with a MACP Student
People come to low-cost counselling for many reasons. Some want support with anxiety, low mood or depression. Others are working through grief, ongoing stress, self-esteem or a big life transition such as a move, a job change or the end of a relationship.
Therapy Goals That Fit Your Life
Therapy is not one size fits all. Your student counsellor will work with you to understand what you want from counselling and tailor each session to you. You are the expert in your own life, and your therapist's role is to listen, ask good questions and help you build insight and skills at a pace that suits you.
Mind Recovery Therapy welcomes people of all genders, identities and relationship structures, and our counselling is LGBTQ+ affirming. Please read the scope of practice note above to see whether student counselling fits your situation.
