Work Environment
Some counselling psychologists work alone, which may include independent research or
patient counselling. Others work as part of a healthcare team, collaborating with
physicians, social workers, and others to treat illness and promote overall wellness. Many
clinical and counselling psychologists in private practice have their own offices and can set
their own schedules. Other typical workplaces include clinics, hospitals, rehabilitation
facilities, and community and mental health centres.
