Welcome to Counselling Services

The University of Waterloo can be a challenging environment. Meeting with a friendly and experienced counsellor can help you handle and manage your goals.

Like our University's labs, libraries and study groups, Counselling Services provides a wide range of strategies to help you do your very best during your time here at UW. We will help you succeed.

At Counselling Services, you can find help with Study Skills, Career Counselling and personal goals. We provide training to students, faculty & staff alike and support campus life year round. Crisis supports and referrals are provided.

Our counsellors are available in our main Needles Hall office as well as in the Faculties of Applied Health Sciences, Arts School of Accounting & Finance, School of Architecture, Career Services, Engineering, Mathematics, Environment, Residence, Pharmacy and Science. We look forward to hearing from you.

As of January 2010 -- Please note that demand for our service remains high and we are currently meeting new clients for a brief 'Client Assignment' interview where your questions can be answered and the appropriate resources explored for you.

If you've seen a counsellor previously and we haven't seen you during the fall 2009 term, please drop by our office during business hours to meet briefly with a member of our Client Assignment Team to help ascertain your needs and scheduling options. Please click here for more info
