About Beth Ryan

My working life has always focused on talking with people and hearing their stories. But after more than 20 years in journalism and communications, I made the move into counselling.

In 2011, I graduated from the Master of Education (Counselling Psychology) program at Memorial.  The program included extensive course work in counselling theory and practice, along with a thesis about men's experiences in counselling, and a full-time internship supervised by senior psychologists and counsellors.

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), a designation from the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association that recognizes "standards of professional preparation, continuing education, and a formal code of ethics".

Each year, I take part in courses and workshops that allow me to learn new approaches to counselling and develop a better understanding of the issues that my clients are facing.
