Personal Counselling

Professional counselling is available whatever the severity of the situation - from an urgent personal crisis to a longer-term issue or a nagging, distracting everyday concern.  Here is a partial list of topics frequently brought to us in personal counselling:

• communication/assertiveness skills
• roommate tensions or parental/family conflict
• eating/body image difficulties
• sexual/physical/emotional abuse
• stress
• depression and/or suicidal thoughts
• self harm
• coping with grief/loss
• conflict resolution
• anxiety/phobias/panic
• homesickness/loneliness
• self-confidence/self-esteem
• drinking/drug use
• surviving a break-up
• sexual functioning
• identity issues/sexual orientation

Personal counselling typically involves some problem exploration and problem solving, but we cannot promise quick fixes or simple answers in complicated situations. We offer ongoing availability in any future sessions for support, feedback, troubleshooting, or further exploration.

Although most personal counselling is done on an individual basis, we also offer joint sessions for couples, friends, roommates or family members, on request.
