Bridge the Gap - Eating Disorder Counselling for Adults
Mental Health - Adult & Senior
Provided by Looking Glass Foundation
Practicum students provide low-cost eating disorder counselling to adults.
Looking Glass Counselling | Bridge the Gap™ provides affordable one-to-one support to individuals in British Columbia who are affected by eating disorders. It also offers a meaningful learning experience for students in the field of counselling.
Therapeutic support is provided by dedicated practicum students from accredited B.C. universities, who are involved in full-time studies in a relevant discipline at a master’s or higher level. Students are overseen by a Registered Clinical Counsellor who is accredited to supervise.
This program is offered at $35 / hour. A small number of partial bursaries may be available.
Potential clients must be recovery-focused, aged 19 or older, and willing to work closely with a therapist to help them meet their goals. Must be B.C. residents.
The program begins with an initial brief conversation with an eating disorder therapist who will consider whether the program will be a fit. The goal is to ensure clients are in an environment where they are heard, supported, and able to explore difficult topics and pursue personal growth. Accepted clients will be asked to commit to counselling sessions every week or two weeks, over a maximum ten-month time frame. Sessions are offered in-person or virtually through Zoom, based on the client’s preference and/or geographical location.
To determine if support can be provided through this program, please complete the Client Interest Form. Please note that counselling spots are very limited.
