Ask a Counsellor

Is there couples counselling if only one partner is a student?

Do you offer relationship counselling if only one partner is a student?

There is a quick and short answer to your question: yes.

As long as one of you is a student, we can offer you and your partner couples counselling. Sometimes a couple finds it helpful to  engage in personal counselling as well. In that case, the student can access an individual counsellor and we would give the non-student partner information about accessing counselling in the community.

We currently have three counsellors who offer couples counselling, and when you call our front desk they can help you schedule an appointment with one of these counsellors.

I will also share that Student Counselling Services offers a workshop using the Myers Briggs Type Inventory. Although helpful to improve any type of relationship, couples have often find it helpful. You can check it out at our workshops, groups and volunteer opportunities page. When we get about 8 people who are interested, we will work with all you to find a time that works. So if you are interested,  just put your name on the list. Your partner would be welcome to attend with you.
