Same-Day/Next-Day Appointments
Whether you are experiencing an immediate concern or are new to counselling, we encourage students to make use of our same-day/next-day counselling appointments.  Each day, there are counselling appointments that are designated as “same-day/next-day”, this means you can access counselling when you need it and allows us to operate without a waitlist for services.  Appointments are available on a first-come, first-served basis with the last appointment at 3:30 p.m. or until capacity is met for the day. Same-day/next-day appointments are posted online each weekday morning for that afternoon and the following morning.  Our phone line is open from 9am until 4:15pm.
