Counselling & Psychological Services

Our services

Counselling and Psychological Services offers short-term counselling to registered Concordia students who are in Quebec. Our services can help patients find new approaches to managing persistent mental health concerns and challenging life situations.

Counselling plans — including the number of sessions and their frequency — vary according to each client’s needs. Many students make significant progress within three to five sessions.

Some services go beyond the scope of our practice as a short-term counselling centre. If you require long-term care or specialized services, we will refer you to the appropriate care or service provider.

We offer both virtual and in-person appointments. Please note that under Ordre des Psychologues du Québec (OPQ) guidelines, appointments are only available to students residing in Quebec.

For holistic and timely support, students are encouraged to use all services at their disposal to access the mental health services they need as quickly as possible. This includes accessing off-campus services and tele-counselling lines that are covered by student association insurance policies, as well as private policies you may be covered under.

For more resources, consult our mental health service list. 

Access services

If you or someone you know is experiencing a crisis, please consult our list of emergency resources that can provide immediate support.

Mental health intake appointments

Intake appointments for mental health services are offered on a first-come, first-served basis to currently enrolled Concordia students who are living in Quebec.

At an intake appointment, you will meet in-person with a mental health professional who will assess your needs and refer you to services.
