Personal Counselling
Personal counselling can help you deal with issues that are creating problems for you at university. By working with you in a manner that builds your confidence, counsellors can help you gain skills for academic and personal success.
You are welcome to see a counsellor if you:
- are struggling to keep up with your studies
- need help to deal with an emergency or a personal crisis
- have failed an exam
- don’t make friends easily and you are lonely
- are having difficulty with your roommate or living conditions
- want to improve your communication with others
- want to become more comfortable speaking in class
- want to reduce your anxiety and stress
- need to sort out relationship issues
- experience panic or depression
- need help managing your time so that you “have a life besides school”
- have a friend who is having problems and you want to know how to help
- have addictions that are taking control of your life
- other
Counselling appointments will be made with the first available counsellor at times that fit your course schedule. Your first appointment will be an assessment interview to determine what resources or help will best fit your situation.
Emergency and Crisis Response
If you are faced with an emergency or crisis, a counsellor (or other health care provider) will see you as soon as possible.
A crisis can be caused by events such as physical or emotional injury/illness, thoughts of suicide, harassment and discrimination, worries about your safety, substance misuse, violence, or academic failure.
Counsellors are available to help students, faculty, and staff deal with a crisis or emergency.
