Personal and Supportive Counselling

Counselling is available to help you deal with personal concerns that may be affecting your studies or personal well-being. We’ll work with you to explore what’s happening in your life and help you identify strategies to help.

Many students meet with a counsellor to discuss topics such as:

Stress management
Interpersonal relationships
Communication skills
Building self esteem
Adjustment to college
Developing assertiveness skills
Anger management
Relationship break up
Dealing with depression
Coping with grief and loss
Managing anxiety
Managing a crisis
Family difficulties
Questioning your sexuality

If more specialized or long-term therapy is a better fit for you, we can help you connect with community resources.

Crisis Counselling

Student Counselling Services makes every effort to support and assist students who are experiencing a personal crisis. We understand that emergencies requiring immediate attention can arise suddenly for students. Most of the time, a counsellor at RRC Polytech can meet with you on the same day when not being seen could lead to serious consequences or seriously aggravate your existing condition.

Some examples of a crisis situation are:

Suicidal thoughts
Thoughts about harming another person
Recent assault or abuse
Concerns about your own safety or the safety of someone else
Hallucinations or delusions
Recent death of a love one
Witness or experience of a traumatic event

If you believe your situation is a crisis that cannot wait for a regularly scheduled appointment, please come to one of our locations.

Notre Dame Campus – D102
Roblin Centre – P210
