Counselling service
ODC offers students, staff and faculty a safe space to talk about their inspirations and challenges. We have a team of counsellors with different backgrounds, and the first two sessions are free.
Our team:
We keep our sessions friendly, supportive, and confidential. Staff and students can opt to be anonymous or make their identity known.
The following is an example on a few topics members of our ODC community have come to us about:
❏ Anxiety ❏ Bereavement ❏ Bullying ❏ Depression ❏ Homesickness | ❏ Leadership ❏ Loneliness ❏ Panic attacks ❏ Perfectionism ❏ Stress |
Professional Counselling Services
It’s better to talk about it with an experienced counsellor than to keep it to yourself and never find relief.
Faculty and staff can also get support through our counselling service. This is an independent service and isn’t linked to any department or administrative area of the college. Let us know if you think a student or colleague is having a tough time so we can help.
