You are at university or college and perhaps it is not what you thought it would be….you may begin to wonder…
Am I in the right place?
Am I really fulfilled?
Who am I really?
How do I cope with my anxiety or depression at University?
Who are my real friends and how can I find my place?
Have I made the right career choice?
How do I adapt to life after high school?
How do I cope with the stress and pressures of University or college life?
What do I want in life?
You may experience uncertainty and self-doubt and begin to feel lost in a place that you worked so hard to get to…
You may feel overwhelmed with a million demands, including classes, tests, papers, friends and work. You may see your grades begin to slip as your mood gets worse.
We are here to offer support with counselling sessions for teens and young adults struggling to adapt to life as a young adult or post-secondary student

Figure out where you really want to be now - so that you can achieve your goals
Counselling can also help you understand the internal pressure you may be placing on yourself—pressure to succeed, to “have it all figured out,” or to compare your progress to everyone around you. University and college can intensify these feelings, especially when you’re surrounded by new people, new expectations, and new responsibilities. Therapy offers a space to untangle these emotions, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build healthier ways to manage stress so you don’t feel like you’re constantly falling behind.
As you work through these challenges, counselling can help you develop a stronger sense of identity and direction. You’ll have support in exploring your strengths, values, and goals so you can make decisions that genuinely align with who you are—not who you think you’re supposed to be. With the right tools and support, you can create a life that feels more grounded and fulfilling, while building the confidence needed to navigate post-secondary life with resilience and purpose.
