Counselling Services

Last update: January 28, 2020

Counselling Services offers free, confidential counselling for UBC students. Mental health concerns can have a significant impact on everyday life, including academics. We can work with students to clarify goals for change, develop a plan for managing concerns, and build new skills that help them succeed. Services are provided by registered clinical counsellors, registered social workers, registered psychologists, supervised master's practicum trainees, and supervised pre-doctoral and post-doctoral interns.
