Counselling Services
We connect Ontarians with compassionate counselling.
- This is not a crisis service. Dial 9-8-8 for the Suicide Crisis Helpline or 9-1-1 for Emergencies
Our network’s counselling programs vary from member to member, so it is important to understand the services and processes for your local agency. We recommend starting by visiting your local agency online through their website. Locate yours on our members page or enter your address into our service map and follow the prompts.
All member agencies provide professional counselling services specific to Individuals, Youth, Couples and Families.

Helping partners navigate challenges and strengthen relationships through community-driven guidance.
Family Counselling
Fostering understanding, connection, and harmony in different family dynamics with inclusive support.
Child & Youth Counselling
Nurturing resilience, growth, and emotional wellbeing in children and youth through compassionate guidance.
You’re the best judge of your mental health needs
Sometimes our clients tell us they almost didn’t book a session because they weren’t sure if we could help them – either because things seem not bad enough or too bad for help.
We encourage you to get the help you need when you need it, and if we aren’t the right place for you, we will help find the place that is right for you!
We’re breaking down barriers
to mental health care
Network members believe that everyone has a right to high-quality mental health services when needed, but we also know equitable access isn’t always available. Here’s how we’re helping to make our counselling services easier to access:
- Walk-in clinics
- Online booking systems
- Free, sliding scale and/or pay-what-you-can subsidies
- Receipting for private insurance benefits
- Self-referrals
- Accessible offices
- Multiple language options
- Easily accessible locations
- Virtual counselling
- Diversity within clinical teams
- Building safer spaces
- Cultural-awareness training for agency staff
- Client-focused customized care
What to expect?
Our counsellors will warmly welcome you at your local agency and are trained to put you at ease, lead you through your session, listen without judgment and work collaboratively with you to achieve your goals.
