We are here to help. We provide confidential counselling services that can help students who are feeling worried, anxious or depressed, having relationship problems, addiction or academic concerns, or have experienced sexual violence.

Faculty and Staff can participate in the Employee and Family Assistance Program.

What to expect

• Appointments can be booked up to one week in advance or on the same day.
• Sessions are typically available Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m. during the summer.
• When booking, you’ll complete a brief online form to help the counsellor understand your concerns and make the most of your session.
• During the 50-minute appointment, you’ll work together on practical, evidence-based strategies to support your next steps.

Our Approach

From June through August 2026 we are offering Single Session Therapy.

Single Session Therapy is a focused appointment designed to help with what you’re facing right now. In a supportive 50-minute session, you and a counsellor will explore your concerns, identify strengths, and develop practical strategies you can use right away.

Unlike ongoing counselling, Single Session Therapy focuses on helping you with a specific concern or challenge in the moment. Additional sessions can be booked throughout the summer as needed.

Our model empowers you to maximize and manage your own health to the best of your ability. We focus on resiliency and building on your strengths, rather than on pathology and illness. We also emphasize early intervention as a way of preventing more serious health issues.

• Your care plan may include individual or group counselling. We may also connect you to other campus resources, peer support, online tools, or community referrals.
• You will have a limit of 10 individual counselling sessions per academic year.

Confidentiality

Your discussions with your counsellor and records of your appointments are confidential. Information will not be shared without your prior knowledge and written consent. There are limited circumstances where the law requires disclosure including situations such as child abuse, medical emergencies and threats of violence to oneself or others. It is also possible for records to be subpoenaed by a Court of Law.

No-shows

We are committed to providing all our students with exceptional care. When you fail to cancel or show up for your appointment, you prevent another student from being seen. Thank you for your consideration.
