Counselling Services

At Loyalist we recognize the important role of education in personal growth and enhancing your quality of life. We’re here to support you – academically, socially and personally – with free, short-term, confidential Counselling Services. Our goal is to help you maximize your potential, in a safe and supportive environment.

We offer support that…

  • Helps you develop the skills, attitudes, abilities and insights to meet both academic and life challenges 
  • Assists you in overcoming personal challenges that may stand in the way of your success 
  • Connects you to additional community supports 
  • Promotes the wellness of the whole person: emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual and physical 

Looking for support?

We are located in the Health and IMPACT Centre (Room 2S01) and are open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for appointments.
