Dr Corinne Reid- Psychologist
Adding real-life experience to uni studies
Dr Corinne Reid believes that real life experience is the best way to teach counselling.
A world-class community-based counselling centre where postgraduate students in the school of psychology can develop their skills under specialist supervision is the brainchild of Dr Reid.
The Godfrey Barrett-Lennard Counsellor Training Centre in Cottesloe offers adults and children an affordable and high quality counselling service underpinned by a commitment to innovative, evidence-based practice.
It also gives Murdoch postgraduate students enrolled in a Master of Counselling or a Postgraduate Diploma of Counselling a real-world training experience.
“Challenge our students to “think outside the square” and integrate research with the art of therapy”
Wide experience
Dr Reid, Counselling Program Chair, said staff at the centre were experienced in counselling, drama therapy, art psychotherapy, trauma work, neuropsychology, clinical psychology, relationship work and working with children.
“They supervise the postgraduate counselling students and teach them a comprehensive range of counselling methods so they can use the best model of treatment for their clients,” Dr Reid said
The Counselling team is also committed to research and building a rich evidence-base for therapeutic practice. As expert practitioners, they bring a strong person-centric focus to research and are committed to training students in real-world research methodologies. At the Godfrey Barrett-Lennard Counsellor Training Centre a curiosity about ‘what works’ is integral and central to everyday work.
The centre is named after Dr Godfrey Barrett-Lennard who has been a visiting Fellow in Psychology at Murdoch University since the 1980s. He has long argued for programs that train professional counsellors in this way.
The Cancer Support Association has kindly donated the use of their building for the centre.
