Testimonial:
Supervision Experience with Laurie Ponsford-Hill

Being able to complete my practicum at the Counselling House was a great learning opportunity. I was able to learn a lot from Laurie Ponsford-Hill while observing individual, couples, and family sessions. It was a comfortable environment to learn in which allowed me to grow as a counsellor and develop my skills in a supportive setting. Laurie’s flexible approach allowed me to learn new techniques and methods that could be used. I was also allowed the opportunity to decide when I was ready to start taking on my own clients and determine my own case load to meet my required hours. I also had the opportunity to create an addiction program at the Counselling House to meet a degree requirement.

Weekly meetings with Laurie allowed me to explore various client issues and concerns as well as discuss my professional growth. Being able to have a supportive supervisor in a flexible environment allowed my confidence to grow and encouraged my own self-awareness as a beginning counsellor. I highly recommend Laurie as a supervisor. The opportunities I have had as a student will continue to help me in my career as a counsellor with the continued support of Laurie.
