Individual Sessions
50 minute sessions
Once your counsellor has learned about what is challenging you, and what your hopes and goals are for the counselling process, we will make a plan together. Sometimes clients are feeling so overwhelmed that they do not know where to begin and, if so, we can support you to figure that out.
Youth
50 minute sessions
Youth often have their own unique challenges, struggles and strengths. They often want to attend counselling on their own to learn how to cope with their unique challenges. Supporting youth at this potentially complex time can be helpful in destigmatizing mental health, and promoting long-term wellness. Our counsellors respect the privacy and confidentiality of the youth that we work with.
