Surrey Community Counselling
Update for April 2023-2024
Unfortunately, our waitlist is now closed and we are full for the summer of 2023.
SFU SCC will be closing August 2023 and reopening with clinical services in August /September of 2024. Clinical service will be temporarily unavailable for the following year.
Staff will be on site weekly through to the end of July 2023, assisting with resourcing for other services.
One of our partners, the SAFE Program - has a limited number of spaces available for general mental health referrals and has a separate intake process.

SFU Surrey Community Counselling is staffed by a dedicated team of Counsellor-educators and trainees from the SFU Master's Program in Counselling Psychology. We offer free individual and group counselling to adults, seniors, youth and school-aged children who live in Surrey and the Lower Mainland.
We do not provide counselling to SFU students. For current SFU students, please visit SFU Health.
