We understand that seeking counselling services can be a significant financial commitment for many individuals and families. That’s why we are dedicated to providing affordable counselling services in Calgary, ensuring that cost is not a barrier to receiving the support and guidance you need.
Our Affordable Counselling Approach:
Supervised Practicum Therapy: A Win-Win Approach
Supervised practicum sessions involve pairing our skilled and experienced therapists with graduate-level therapists who are completing their clinical training. These sessions provide an opportunity for our clients to access quality counselling at reduced rates while allowing emerging therapists to gain valuable hands-on experience under the guidance of our seasoned professionals.

By participating in supervised practicum sessions, clients at Virtuous Circle Counselling can enjoy the following benefits:
- Reduced Fees: Practicum sessions are offered at a reduced fee, making counselling even more affordable for individuals and families who may be on a limited budget or have financial constraints. ($50/hr Individual; $75/hr Couples).
- High-Quality Care: While practicum sessions involve therapists in training, rest assured that our emerging therapists are carefully selected and closely supervised by our experienced team. This ensures that you will receive competent and compassionate care throughout the counselling process.
- Fresh Perspectives: Practicum therapists bring fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to the therapeutic process. Their enthusiasm and dedication to learning can enhance the therapeutic experience and contribute to positive outcomes.
The Growth and Development of Emerging Therapists
Supervised practicum sessions are a vital component of our commitment to professional development and the growth of emerging therapists. By offering them the opportunity to work alongside experienced clinicians, we provide a supportive environment for their clinical training and help them refine their therapeutic skills.

This approach allows us to offer reduced rates to those who need it most, making counselling more affordable and accessible.
