Counselling for University Students
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of academic and social life?
Are you looking for a way to better navigate friendships and relationships?
Are you worried about what the future holds after college?
University may be the first time you’re out in the world and feeling the freedom of independence. It may seem like your peers are smoothly settling into their college lifestyle – joining Greek life, sports teams, clubs, and attending parties – while you struggle to find your balance. But you’re not alone.
You may have expected to have all the answers by now – to have found a major you’re passionate about and have a clear plan for your future – but this is not the case for most students. It’s normal to feel anxious, depressed, lost, and isolated in university, but if these feelings prevent you from living your life to the fullest, First Talk Counselling and Wellness can help.
At First Talk, our counselling for university students is tailored to improved mental well-being, increased self-awareness, improved coping skills, improved communication, and increased self-esteem. We respect our clients, offer the highest quality of counselling with integrity, build genuine connections, and protect your privacy and confidentiality. Reach out to us if you need help navigating the transition to university.
