NOSP provides single-session walk-in/talk-in counselling appointments. These appointments are solution-focused, strength-based, and client-driven, following a single-session model. A walk-in/talk-in session is a type of counseling or therapy session where individuals can talk to a mental health professional on a drop-in basis. It provides a more immediate and flexible option for those seeking support or guidance. During these sessions, individuals can discuss their concerns, receive advice, and explore potential solutions in a safe and confidential environment. It’s a great way to access mental health support more informally. NOSP Walk-in/Talk-in single-session appointments are available from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. These sessions are available on a first-come/first-served basis, so we encourage you to call early in the day. 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, 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 an opportunity to meet with that counsellor in person. When you call in, one of our Program Assistants will gather some preliminary information from you in anticipation of the appointment and provide you with your appointment time. If our spots are booked for the day, NOSP has partnered with a variety of other service providers that provide single-session support.
