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 your success planning, personal goals setting, study skills, career counselling and directions to help reach your success.

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 our "Satellite Office" for scheduled appointments in the Faculties of:

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 on or off campus can explored with you, approximately 15 - 20 minutes (depending on wait).

If you've seen a counsellor previously and we haven't seen you during the past two terms, 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 or call our front desk to arrange a telephone consult if you are out of town.

If your question or concern is of an urgent nature please ensure you let our staff know of your situation and needs.

We look forward to working with you!
