Welcome to the Psychology Centre
Who are we?
Contact+64 3 343 9627 The Psychology Centre |
The Psychology Centre is part of the Clinical Psychology Training Programme at the University of Canterbury. The goals of the Centre are to provide:
- a high quality psychological service to our clients
- a high standard of teaching to the Clinical Psychology students who train within the Centre
As a training centre we strive to involve Clinical Psychology students in assessment and treatment in ways that meet the needs of both the student and client. Before working in the Centre students have already completed four years of University study in Psychology and are in the process of completing three years of advanced training in Clinical Psychology. The students are closely supervised in their training by experienced Clinical Psychologists.
The Centre has some capacity to provide a service to clients who do not wish to have a student involved.
