Group Counselling

Our group counselling services involve a group of people meeting with a mental health practitioner in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. All group members meet at a scheduled time, date, and location for a common group topic.

Group counselling typically consists of a minimum of 6 participants. All groups must have the minimum number of enrolees to begin. Group counselling is available as part of the general counselling and mandated counselling services.

Groups are offered in open group and closed group formats. Open groups are groups in which new members can join at any time. Closed groups are groups where all members start the group at the same time.

Our group counselling services are provided by Registered Psychologists, Provisional Psychologists, Canadian Certified Counsellors, and Counselling Therapists.

What can you expect?

In the initial session (intake session), the mental health practitioner will meet 1-on-1 with you to discuss what you can expect from treatment; likely benefits and risks of treatment; confidentiality; rights & responsibilities; telephone and emergency procedures; payment for services; cancellations and missed appointments; frequency, duration, and number of sessions in group; group format (open or closed); and any other questions you may have.

After the intake session, you and your mental health practitioner will review the time frequency, duration, and number of sessions in the group; as well as the group format (open or closed). Future sessions will all be apart of the group at pre-scheduled times and dates.
