Mobile Walk-in One Session Counselling Clinic

The program runs from May 1st to the end of October 2024.

Fast and easy access to counselling services! No appointment or referral needed for a one-time counselling session.

Why come to us?

If you need someone to talk to about life’s challenges, come in to speak with a trained professional counsellor. We can help you with issues such as:

• Job loss and job-related stress
• Depression and anxiety
• Parenting, family and marital conflict
• Separation, divorce and grief
• Addictions: alcohol, drugs, medication and gambling
• Anger and difficult interpersonal relationships
• Gender identity and gender expression
• Sexual assault
• Other life challenges

How do we help our clients?

We offer a walk-in individual single-session therapy with a psychotherapist.

Through the single-session approach, we help you work with your own strengths to plan a way to deal with your concern. In many cases, a single session is enough for you to take a step in the direction where you want to move. At the end of the session, if you and the therapist feel that you need a longer-term therapy, we can refer you to one of our programs.

Note: This walk-in clinic does not provide medication reviews or counselling with a psychiatrist.

Who do we serve?

• People aged 16 or over.
