MSW or MACP? Exploring Counselling Psychology as a Graduate Pathway
July 30th 2026
If you’re considering MSW programs but are also curious about counselling psychology, this Lunch & Learn will help you better understand your graduate school options.
Join MSW Helper and Yorkville University for an informative session on the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) program. We’ll discuss how counselling psychology compares to social work, what students should consider when choosing between MSW and MACP pathways, and how Yorkville’s MACP program can support those pursuing a future in counselling or therapy.
Eligible attendees will also receive a $750 tuition credit and a $150 application fee waiver as part of MSW Helper’s affiliate partnership with Yorkville University.
Disclosure: MSW Helper is partnering with Yorkville University for this event. MSW Helper may receive compensation from Yorkville University if registrants or clients of MSW Helper enrol in the program, at no cost to you, as outlined in our Terms of Use.
While this session highlights Yorkville University’s MACP program, MSW Helper’s advising approach is always based on individual fit. We encourage students to consider a range of graduate program options and choose pathways based on their goals, circumstances, registration or licensing pathways, and professional interests.
MSW Helper will always prioritize your best interests when supporting you in choosing programs.

Hey there! My name is Michelle, and I’m your webinar host.
When I applied for my Master of Social Work in 2017 I realized how little support there was for such a competitive program. I wrote my personal statements having no idea if what I was writing was what admissions committees are actually looking for.
After I got accepted I started helping people around me with their personal statements, and realized there was a need for personal statement services specifically designed for the MSW program.
7 years later - MSW Helper is the go-to resource for students who are applying to social work programs, and our application advising team is here to support you.
We strongly believe that great social workers aren't always strong writers. Social work is so much more than an academic field. By increasing access and supporting applicants through the writing process we increase diversity and equity in the social work field, creating a field that better reflects the people we support as social workers.
