Biography

Dr. John Sherry has over 20 years of experience as a clinician and his academic and clinical work has focused on couples, family, and group therapy. Dr. O’Neill and Dr. Sherry are two of the founding members of the Community Counselling Centre, the program’s off-site practicum placement for counselling students. He has been instrumental at implementing couple, family and group counselling at UNBC’s training clinic, and currently facilitates process groups for graduate students and professionals in the community. His research interests tend to centre around counsellor training and development with a special interest in experiential approaches to teaching and clinical supervision.
