About Counselling Connect
Counselling Connect provides free individual counselling and support groups. Our services are for people of all ages in Ottawa and the surrounding area, from Renfrew to Cornwall and the places in between.
We offer each person 1-3 individual counselling sessions. Sometimes just one session is enough.
We don’t offer on-going long-term counselling beyond 1-3 sessions. We are also not able to offer documentation for court-involved individuals.
We provide a safe and supportive space for everyone. We do not tolerate abusive language or behavior, ensuring a respectful and healing environment for all our staff and clients.
