Individual/Family Counselling
Free, single-session therapy from trained counsellors —for anyone, when you need it most.
We offer compassionate, client-centred support for individuals of all ages across the Ottawa region.
How It Works
One session. Real support. No cost.
Our therapy model is designed to meet you where you are. Sessions can be up to 90 minutes and focused on what you need most right now.
Counsellors are trained to support a wide range of experience and identities. Services are offered at different partner clinics across the region and in multiple languages. No matter who you are or what brings you here, you’re welcome.
Choose what works best for you:
Need someone to talk to today? Our walk-in clinics offer free, single-session counselling with no appointment or referral needed.
Prefer to plan ahead? Reserve a counselling session online for later this week. It’s still free, still one-on-one, but just at a time that works for you.
