If you are feeling upset, anxious, angry, stressed, sad, stuck, or confused, meeting with a counsellor can help. Counselling services can support you in difficult and challenging times.

Counselling can help when:

• You notice you are a little blue, not feeling yourself, and want to explore ways to cope better.
• You are going through a time of change or transition and need support.
• You notice that you are having difficulties with coping with daily life, or with relationships and feel stressed or confused.
• You find yourself overthinking things and feel anxious about your decisions.

Caring counsellors can meet with you to discuss issues you are concerned about. Counsellors are trained to offer you professional support, tools, and resources to help you cope better.

The first step of deciding to book an appointment is sometimes the most difficult. Our compassionate counsellors are aware of the courage it takes to decide to seek counselling and will offer you a safe, non-judgemental, and supportive space in which to bring up your concerns.

Not at all! Knowing to get help when you need it is ultimately resourceful. It shows you have the strength to thrive instead of letting your problems overtake you.

No. Counselling is a purposeful experience with a trained professional. It helps you gain new insights, shift in ways of relating to yourself and others, recognize and build on your strengths, and evolve in life. Counsellors equip you with proven tools to cope better and build valuable skills to use in daily life.

Counselling is not a quick fix, nor is it magic. Counselling is a process, and it takes time to gain awareness and culture change. Personal growth is a challenging process, but thankfully, there are counsellors who are trained to guide you through it.
