Citizens' Counselling Centre

Theu are kind and helpful.

I went for counselling here because of the low cost and the counsellors flexibility. I saw a practicum student for 8 sessions. It was helpful, but not quite what I was hoping for. I ended up seeing a private therapist after. I guess it was good because it helped me get started with therapy, but the work I did after was a lot more deep and helpful.

Counseling is way too expensive for most people. This service is a viable alternative for those many folk who need some help. It was a lifesaver for me. These are lay counsellors and students, clearly not meant for heavy duty issues. These people are approachable and if one counselor doesn't 'fit', then they are happy to try again. The more 'work' you do in preparing info as to why you need help the better they can fit you with the best person. They clearly really do want to help people and they did help me. Thank you!

Valuable beyond measure, a very good place to receive support

I felt welcomed and felt it was a very safe place upon my first interview. I was linked up with an amazing counselor who took the time to really listen to what I had to say and helped develop some amazing plans/goals for myself. Going here has no doubt changed my life for the better. It is an easy process and is a very cheap service for the amazing quality that is offered!

after my first 2 or 3 sessions, I asked to have another counselor because I wasn't feeling progress. The second person I saw was amazing. I've been able to go back to her a couple of times over the years when I need support and always an excellent outcome.It is hit and miss but don't forget you can ask to change counselors and the clearer you are about what you're looking for the better they can make a match.

I had a great experience at Citizens counselling. I was dealing with very bad depression and anxiety but through my sessions I healed and grew into a much happier person. I had been seeing a cognitive behavioural therapist who was extremely unaffordable but switched after a few sessions completely to Citizens Counselling. My counsellor was incredible, I felt very safe and cared for. Not having to think of cost helped relieve my stress. Citizens Counselling is incredibly accessible and accommodating.
