Brief counselling appointments are available in-person, by phone and video. These appointments are designed to provide needs based, solution-focused counselling to support your mental health and well-being.
This could include symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship challenges and more.
- Appointments are available at no charge to registered University of Waterloo students in classes or on co-op terms.
- During your appointment, you and your counsellor will work together to determine the most effective approach for you.
- If you have specific needs, or would like to request a counsellor with particular lived experience or identity, we will do our best to match you with a counsellor to meet your needs.
