Counsellors will provide therapeutic counselling to clients that have used abuse and/or violence against their intimate partner. We also provide counselling to the partners of clients that have been affected by abuse and or violence. Counselling is offered both in person and online. Counsellors work independently for individual sessions (after training), and as a part of a team in the delivery of group sessions and workshops. Counsellors are expected to use collaborative approaches for safety and accountability. Duties also include documentation of case notes, statistical information and report writing. Counsellors will contribute to program development as required and participate in clinical supervision and weekly team meetings. Counsellors will collaborate with community partners and represent the organization on committees as required.
