Considering an Intern Therapist at Glebe Counselling

High-quality, supervised, affordable psychotherapy

Why Choose an Intern Therapist?

Intern therapists at Glebe Counselling are graduate-level students in the final year of their Master’s degree in psychotherapy. They are completing 125 clinical hours under the close guidance of three certified clinical supervisors and the Glebe Associate Therapist. This means you receive thoughtful, attentive care supported by a full clinical team.

Clients often find Intern Therapists to be:

  • Warm, collaborative, and deeply committed
  • Highly reflective and eager to learn
  • Up-to-date on current therapeutic approaches
  • Able to offer reduced-fee sessions while maintaining high standards of care

Our Training Approach

Interns are trained in an integrated model of psychotherapy, blending:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
  • Psychodynamic Therapy

Rather than relying on a single method, interns learn to develop a personalized, responsive, and holistic approach to your care.

What Clients Can Work On

Intern therapists are trained to support a wide range of mental health concerns, including:

  • Trauma and overwhelming experiences
  • Interpersonal and relational struggles
  • Life transitions and periods of change
  • Emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and low mood
  • Substance use concerns
  • Eating and body-image challenges
  • Stress, burnout, and overwhelm

Supervision & Quality Assurance

Your care is supported by a team-based supervision model that includes:

  • Weekly individual supervision
  • Dyadic supervision (two interns with one supervisor)
  • Group supervision
  • Ongoing consultation with the Glebe Associate Therapist

This ensures that every client benefits from multiple layers of clinical insight, ethical oversight, and professional guidance.

What You Can Expect as a Client

  • A safe, confidential, and supportive space
  • A therapist who is fully supervised and committed to your growth
  • Evidence-informed approaches tailored to your needs
  • Reduced-fee sessions that increase access to care
  • A collaborative process where your goals guide the work
