Mental Health Services

Student Leaders who are concerned about a student and unsure of how to respond or would like to debrief a situation can access a free 30-minute consultation appointment with one of the Counselling team. The goal of this service is to help you sort out the relevant issues, explore alternative approaches, and identify useful resources.

To request a consultation please call the Wellness Centre front desk at 604.513.2100.

In-person or video counselling services are available to TWU students living in Canada except those located in Alberta, Ontario (excluding LLC students), Quebec, Nova Scotia or New Brunswick as those provinces have different regulations.

We offer the same services to TWU employees as we have capacity and encourage you to inquire with us about options as well as our referral list.

We cannot offer remote services to students located outside of Canada but our web-based, peer service, TalkCampus is accessible worldwide 24/7 in multiple languages.

TWU Students pay a reduced fee for counselling as the university heavily subsidizes these services.

• $35 per session with a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
• $25 per session with a Graduate Student Intern
