Children

Children are welcome to attend a session as a client, depending upon age, capacity to consent, and custody/access arrangements. Please see your local agency for details.

Children are not permitted to be in the room at someone else’s individual session, and not all Network agencies provide child-minding services. Please see your local agency for details and plan ahead.

Stories of Hope

Our client satisfaction rates approach 100%. The impact of our counselling efforts is demonstrated in their words.

My therapist is remarkable and made a dark time in my life brighter and more bearable. She gave me some understanding and tools to help me move forward. I am so fortunate and grateful to have received her aid and counselling.

I feel heard and seen by my therapist. I’m getting help and techniques I can actually use. My therapist lets me be myself comfortably.

Thank you for your service, it’s amazing and a life-changing experience for me.

My counsellor is a pleasure, so important to have a professional ear to help sort life's challenges, very grateful for her time and expertise. I feel better for having unburdened myself on her... whatever she's being paid isn't enough!!

The counselor was very compassionate and on point. Made me feel heard and understood.

I like that I was provided with some resources that could help me to manage my anxiety/life better and that I was listened to/understood.

Video conferencing makes getting help much more accessible.

Really like the opportunity to book online and that the bookings are so available! With all that is a challenge in our health system I have experienced ready access to the services I've needed since beginning this journey. Thank you.

This service is amazing for me. I am currently making $78/week from EI for this sick leave, so obviously a paid therapist is not an option for me. It's nice to know we don't have to be alone and that help isn't financially based.

Every clinician I have seen since starting there in January has been amazing. I am so impressed by the knowledge and professionalism I have witnessed there and I appreciate the help I’ve gotten throughout the last few months. I’m looking forward to meeting weekly with the same therapist and working through my current challenges. I will and have recommended this service to others I know who are also seeking support with their mental health. Thank you!

You are one of my greatest blessings in my life and, with your help, I am already becoming a blessing to someone else…I am eternally grateful.

Everything was conducted in a professional manner in a calming and tranquil environment. Kudos!

The counsellor was very careful to make sure she understood our points of view and gave both me and my partner equal opportunity to say what we wanted to.

I am very grateful that there is this service available in our community to support people who are struggling, mentally, emotionally and financially. Thank you!

I think this was a great service and I felt so much lighter after the session.

I have recommended this agency to many people.

I like how she hears what I say, reframes it for me to know she hears and understands and offers helpful insight to be able to work through things in between sessions. Suggestions are relatable to what can help in the moment and are easy enough to manage. I also appreciate the validation I receive, the sense of normalcy that is brought to the sessions, and how it always feels better and more manageable after.

The very best service I ever imagined or could possibly get ‼ I need this service just like an alcoholic needs AA ❤

I was offered a timely appointment which helped alleviate my stress more quickly. Thank you.

Safe environment, clean environment. Effective counselling.

My counsellor was a very helpful person and a fantastic listener. She was always able to make sense of a given situation. I feel that I'm in a much better place now than I was when I started speaking with her. The service is a very helpful one to be made available to people in the world we find ourselves in today, I'm very thankful that I found it when I did.

Service was excellent! Life changing. Thank you!

I truly found the services offered extremely helpful. It is exactly what I needed and hoped to get since I was a young child.
