Individual Counselling

A Space to Talk. A Space to Understand. A Space to Move Forward.

Counselling offers you the opportunity to talk openly with a trained professional in a safe, respectful and confidential environment.

You do not need to know exactly what you need before your first appointment. Together, you can explore what is happening and identify what kind of support may be most helpful.

Counselling May Help With

• Anxiety and stress
• Academic difficulties
• Relationship concerns
• Family difficulties
• Loneliness
• Self-esteem
• Emotional regulation
• Grief and loss
• Adjustment and transitions
• Personal development

What Happens in Counselling?

Your first meeting is an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to the service and what you would like support with.

There is no expectation that you will have everything figured out.

Your counsellor will work collaboratively with you to understand your needs and discuss appropriate next steps.

Your First Session

Not sure what to expect? That's completely normal.

During your first appointment, your counsellor may ask about:

• what has brought you to counselling
• how you have been feeling
• how your concerns are affecting your everyday life
• what you would like to change or understand
• what kind of support might be useful

You will also have the opportunity to ask questions.

There Is No "Right" Way to Do Counselling

You don't have to prepare a speech. You don't have to know exactly what to say. Just start where you are.

Counselling is a confidential service: read about confidentiality and its limits.
