Our services
Individual Counselling
We offer free, client-directed, non-judgmental counselling to male and female survivors of sexual violence. Individuals can expect one-on-one services with a sexual assault counselor. These services are offered within a solution focused framework and offer a minimum of 15 weeks of counselling.
In addition to those counselling services available to survivors themselves, we also provide support and information for parents and partners of survivors, including non-offending parents of child victims.
We only accept self-referrals for our individual counselling. To make an appointment for yourself, please contact the centre at 613.967.6300.
