Our mission is to provide accessible and affordable counselling therapy services to our community. We understand that financial constraints should not be a barrier to receiving quality mental health care. Therefore, our Low Cost Counselling Program operates on a "pay what you can" approach, with a suggested rate of $40.00 per clinical hour.

How do we do it? Our Low Cost Counselling Program is supported by highly competent postgraduate masters-level interns in the final stages of their Masters in Counselling Psychology program. While supervision is part of our protocol, it's important to clarify that supervisors are not present during sessions with the interns. Instead, they engage in comprehensive case discussions afterward. This ensures that our interns, although still in training, are equipped with the most current research and therapy interventions to effectively address your needs. You can have full confidence in the expertise of our interns and the structured support they receive as they progress toward graduation.
