Free Counselling in Kitchener-Waterloo
At Transformation Counselling, we believe that mental health care should be accessible to everyone, no matter their financial situation. If you're searching for free counselling in Kitchener-Waterloo, you're not alone — and we're here to help.
What We Offer: Free and Low-Cost Counselling in Kitchener-Waterloo
We are proud to provide free and low-cost counselling options to individuals, couples, and families in the Kitchener-Waterloo area through our student therapist program. These services are offered by caring student therapists who are completing their Master's degrees in counselling, social work or psychotherapy.
While these students are not yet licensed therapists, they receive close supervision from our experienced, licensed psychotherapists, ensuring high-quality and compassionate care. Working with a student therapist can be just as meaningful and effective as working with a licensed professional — and often more accessible.
Free Online Counselling and Therapy in Ontario
We also offer free online counselling and free online therapy to residents across Ontario, making it easier for you to get support from the comfort and privacy of your home. Whether you're facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, or just need someone to talk to, our student therapists are here to support you with empathy and respect.
This virtual option is especially helpful for individuals in remote or rural areas, or for those with transportation or mobility challenges. As long as you live in Ontario, you can access this service.
How Our Free Therapy Program Works
Our student therapists typically stay with us for 6 to 9 months. During this time, you’re welcome to book as many free or low-cost sessions as you need, depending on availability. This can provide you with consistent support during a difficult season of life.
It’s important to note that not everyone may qualify for student therapy, as universities have guidelines around who their students can work with. But don’t worry — our intake team is here to guide you through the process and help find the right fit for your needs.
Who Can Access Free Counselling in Kitchener-Waterloo?
We welcome people from all backgrounds, cultures, faiths, identities, and walks of life. We are committed to providing a culturally safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where you feel respected, heard, and understood.
Whether you're facing challenges with your mental health, struggling with life transitions, or simply want someone to talk to, free counselling in Kitchener-Waterloo is available — and you deserve that support.
