Based on Ontario-wide shutdown, in-office hours will not resume until further notice, however virtual supports are still available. Please continue to check the website for any updates.
In the event of an emergency, call 911.
Welcome to Trent Counselling Services
We are still here for you!
TCS staff are currently providing counselling sessions from remote locations, either by confidential video or phone. Therapy by email or text is not a service that we currently provide. If you are a Durham campus student, please visit Trent Durham Counselling Services.
Please note that due to provincial requirements, TCS is currently providing individual therapy only to students residing in Ontario. If you are outside of Ontario and interested in other supports or resources, please contact us for more information or 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 with a Trent Therapist. Students looking for more immediate support may wish to view “How do I get counselling support sooner?”.
*NEW* Counselling Services is now offering Single Session Therapy for students who want to address specific concerns. Learn more here or visit “Is single session right for me?” and let us know on your intake form if you want to see our Single Session Therapist.
