    Find A Counsellor

    Our counsellors are committed to ongoing learning about social-justice and anti-oppressive approaches to mental healthcare. This includes education about critical issues such as racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, body liberation, and other historically marginalised identities, and how these impact the lives of our clients.
