Counselling Services
Welcome to Trent Counselling Services
We are still here for you!
Counsellors continue to provide support virtually.
Therapy by email or text is not a service that we currently provide.
Please note that due to provincial requirements, counsellors are providing individual therapy only to students residing in Ontario. If you are outside of Ontario and interested in other supports or resources, please visit our Mental Health Resources page.
Given the current service delivery format and demands on service, students may expect longer wait times for an initial consultation. Students looking for more immediate support may wish to view “How do I get counselling support sooner?”.
HOW IT WORKS
The first step is to complete and submit the registration form following the instructions below.
You will receive an email reply that connects you with a counsellor who will reach out to you to schedule an appointment for an initial consultation.
The initial consultation follows the Stepped Care Model, and will primarily focus on providing Brief Therapy, Single Session Therapy, or referring students to appropriate supports. View our Overview of Services page for more information on these services.
