Online Counselling
Online counselling services provide the option of accessing professional counselling at the click of a mouse.
Anyone who can navigate online can enter into the world of online counselling. Teens and youth are especially comfortable with communicating online, people living in rural communities who just can’t access counselling in the traditional way, adults who enjoy letter writing or journaling, or those wanting a degree of anonymity can benefit.
The first step is to contact Thunder Bay Counselling directly to see if online counselling is right for you.
Mental Health Counselling
The Mental Health Counselling Program provides counselling for individuals experiencing issues such as:
- anxiety
- depression
- grief
- stress
- recent or previous trauma.
Couples Counselling
The Couples Counselling Program provides counselling for couples to assist them in building a healthier and more satisfying relationship.
Sexual Violence & Harassment
Counselling is available if you have experienced sexual violence and/or harassment as a teen or as an adult. This program can help you share your feelings with a professional counsellor even if time has passed since the assault. We help survivors learn that sexual assault and harassment is never their fault. It is never okay.
