At Chettiar Counselling and Associates, we understand the unique challenges that University of Guelph and Conestoga College students face. Our goal is to provide fast access to mental health counselling tailored specifically to their needs. We also recognize that universities and colleges are constrained for mental health counselling resources. That’s why we strive to fill this gap and offer quick access to therapy with no limits on the number of sessions. Our streamlined therapy referral process ensures that students can begin receiving support within one week, enhancing their well-being and academic success.
