Walk-In/Talk-In counselling is solution-focused, strength-based and client driven, following a single session model.
NOSP has up to four (4) sessions/day available, from Monday to Friday. These sessions are available on a first-come/first-serve basis so we encourage you to call early in the day, to book a time for between 10:00am and 3:00pm. When you call in, one of our Program Assistants will get some preliminary information from you, in anticipation of the appointment, and will provide you with your appointment time.
A session can occur:
- over the phone;
- virtually, from the comfort of your own home, if you have access to technology;
- virtually, from within an NOSP office - if you don't have your own technology, NOSP can provide you with a private space and computer, in the office closest to you, in order for you to meet with one of our counsellors via ZOOM; or
- depending on the location of the counsellor who is providing the walk-in/talk-in service on any given day, there may be opportunity to meet with that counsellor in person.
