In Manitoba counselling is not a regulated field, meaning anyone can use the term counsellor. At Divergent Counselling we have counsellors who belong to regulated fields (psychiatric nursing, social work), and counsellors who do not belong to regulated fields. The counsellors who do not belong to regulated fields have been chosen based on their experience and qualifications and are capable of supporting you. All Divergent Counselling staff are under the supervision of John Jackson, RPN.
