The Canadian Psychological Association defines counselling psychology as:

a broad specialization within professional psychology concerned with using psychological principles to enhance and promote the positive growth, well-being, and mental health of individuals, families, groups, and the broader community. Counselling psychologists bring a collaborative, developmental, multicultural, and wellness perspective to their research and practice. They work with many types of individuals, including those experiencing distress and difficulties associated with life events and transitions, decision-making, work/career/education, family and social relationships, and mental health and physical health concerns. In addition to remediation, counselling psychologists engage in prevention, psychoeducation and advocacy. (Taken from )

In addition to training students to counsel professionally, this program teaches them to be intelligent consumers of the relevant research literature in this field and to do research in the applied aspects of the profession. For this purpose, it draws on the findings of developmental psychology, personality theory, social psychology, career psychology, and neuropsychology, among several other basic sciences. This is done, further, for purposes of enlarging its canonical knowledge base, as well as for training students to practice professionally.
