It is a great question and concern. All our interns have received their training through their master’s degree and are finishing the last clinical practice requirements. So, at the very least, they are trained to provide a space that gives you caring attention and support. It is a great place to start if you haven’t experienced counselling before. In addition, they receive close supervision and teaching from our clinic director and are developing more skills as they are with us. Lastly, we accept interns who have more life experience and sometimes have been working in the counselling field in some way prior to their practicum with us.
We have the same policy for all our therapists and are happy to set up a consultation with anyone to find the right fit and change therapists if it doesn’t feel right.
Unfortunately, the therapist needs to be a registered counsellor to claim the fees from your benefits.
Every Intern receives in-depth weekly supervision. This means your therapy is closely supported by one of BC’s most experienced supervisors.
Delyse provides guidance to Interns in IFS, Somatic, Focusing, and Psychodynamic orientations. In addition, she has spent more than three decades working in the field of trauma, supporting individuals through healing and recovery
Delyse’s supervision provides in-depth feedback (through reviewing recordings) and space to safely explore the students emotional responses that might hinder the therapeutic process. Delyse offers demonstrations and role plays as part of supervision to explore interventions and the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship.
Working with Delyse has been an incredibly enriching experience. With decades of experience, she brings deep wisdom to her work—yet what stands out most is her ongoing openness to growth and change. She is not fixed in her ways; rather, she models an expansive and evolving approach to the work. Delyse’s relational and experiential style makes supervision feel collaborative and deeply human. She offers compassionate insight and consistently brings fresh and thoughtful perspectives that have helped me grow professionally. Delyse also strongly advocates for counsellors to honour their own boundaries in the therapeutic context, which is grounding and empowering.
We carefully select interns who meet the following criteria:
Our rigorous selection process ensures that clients receive care from compassionate, dedicated individuals passionate about helping others.

Lo is an absolute treasure. They are clearly very intelligent, capable and confident in the work. It is great to have a counsellor who has such a high level of empathy and knowledge. I would refer to them with complete confidence!

I have nothing but praise for Turning Point Therapy. I contacted a number of organizations regarding their internship/low cost provision, and Turning Point was by far the best experience. From the outset, I felt listened to and they suggested a trial conversation. Therapy wise: absolutely brilliant – Soraya was absolutely amazing. She is so empathetic, compassionate and I both laughed and cried. Administrative wise, super personal and very efficient/easy payment. I would thoroughly recommend.
