The London Clinical Psychology Residency Consortium is a partnership between London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), St. Joseph’s Health Care London (SJHC) and the Child and Parent Resource Institute (CPRI). It emphasizes clinical service, teaching and research, and aims to prepare residents for post-doctoral supervised practice in psychology, particularly within the healthcare system. This is pursued through identification of individual interests, enhancement of strengths and broadening areas of clinical interest and skill.

To view the 2026-2027 residency brochure, please visit the APPIC Directory listing or email Dr. Brent Hayman-Abello, C.Psych at Brent.HaymanAbello@lhsc.on.ca.
Please note: We strive to have the most accurate and up-to-date information in our brochure. It is revised every year; however, changes may occur for many reasons beyond the residency’s control and no program can guarantee the staff and services listed at the time of printing will be available throughout the full residency year. If there are further changes, they will be communicated to applicants before and/or during the interview process.
The scientist-practitioner model
Professionalism is enhanced through the development of strong interpersonal and communication skills, time management strategies and an overall positive sense of professional self and identity.
While clinical training is emphasized, the scientist-practitioner model serves as the philosophical basis for clinical practice, as well as educational and research endeavours.
In line with the goals outlined in the Gainesville Manifesto of 1990, the aim of the scientist-practitioner model is to integrate science and practice and to facilitate career-long integration of investigation, assessment, intervention and consultation.
Psychology staff at the Consortium sites endeavour to maintain both an empirical basis to their clinical practice and clinical relevance in their research.
The Consortium views the program as a pre-requisite to the awarding of the doctoral degree. As a result, we support a model of training in which the predoctoral clinical residency must be completed before the doctoral degree is conferred.
