Family Counselling

Support for families navigating conflict, transitions, parenting challenges, or communication breakdowns. We help strengthen family bonds in a safe, neutral space.

Student Counselling

Support for students managing academic pressure, social challenges, identity, or personal struggles. We help young people build resilience and find their footing.

Senior Counselling

Compassionate support for seniors, including companionship, emotional wellness check-ins, and help navigating major life transitions such as retirement, loss, or health changes.

Why Choose GDS Counselling

Culturally Informed. Deeply Compassionate.

Many BIPOC community members face unique barriers to mental health support — including cultural stigma, language gaps, or services that don't reflect their lived experience. At GDS, our counselling approach is grounded in cultural humility and community understanding.

We believe mental health care should feel safe and relevant. Our counsellors are experienced in working with newcomers, youth, families, and elders from diverse backgrounds across Edmonton.

  • Confidential, private sessions
  • Culturally sensitive practitioners
  • Available for youth, adults, families, and seniors
  • Referrals available when additional specialist support is needed
