Couples therapy

Couples therapy supports partners who are experiencing relationship difficulties or who want to strengthen their relationship.

What to Expect

Couples therapy provides confidential, professional, and evidence-based support delivered by qualified clinicians. Services are appointment-based and subject to availability, with initial assessment followed by short-term therapy or referral as appropriate.
Active participation required from both partners. CCS services are in high demand, with requests for service out pacing capacity, so students can expect referrals to community counselling will be provided when internal capacity is limited. It can take multiple attempts to book an IC.
