About Our Services: Your Well-Being Matters, We’re Here for You

Support that fits your journey — real, relatable, and right when you need it.

Seneca Polytechnic Counselling Services is here to help you thrive, not just academically, but personally and emotionally too. Life at college can be exciting, stressful, and everything in between. Whether you're navigating a tough moment, seeking personal growth, or looking to build new skills, we’re here to support you in the way that works best for you.

Our services are built on a stepped care approach, that means you get the right level of support at the right time. From one-time sessions to ongoing counselling, urgent support, and skills-based groups, we’ve got your back

What We Offer

💬 Quick Connects

One conversation can make a big difference.

Need to talk to someone soon? Quick Connects are 50-minute appointments with a counsellor, offered in-person, virtually, or by phone. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, or just need guidance, we’ll help you explore your options and figure out your next steps.

Great for:

• Students who need support now, but not necessarily ongoing counselling
• Mental health check-ins and short-term guidance
• Figuring out what kind of help you need

🤝 Brief Counselling

Support for when you need more than just one session.

If you're facing something bigger, like anxiety, depression, or life changes, Brief Counselling provides consistent, one-on-one sessions with the same counsellor. You’ll meet every 2–3 weeks and work together on strategies for coping and growth.

Ideal for:

• Ongoing support with emotional, academic, or personal issues
• Students who want to build a connection with a counsellor
• Those looking for deeper, more sustained care
