Our Mission

The Greater Victoria Citizens' Counselling Centre assists adult community members in attaining socially and psychologically satisfying lives by providing quality, accessible, volunteer counselling services.

We believe that every person has the right to access quality counselling services regardless of ability to pay. The Centre has a sliding fee scale based on family income.

We believe that people are resourceful and are capable of making choices and decisions for themselves. We focus on helping clients find their own solutions and the means to make constructive changes.

The Centre was established as a non-profit society in 1969. We are a United Way community partner and receive a grant from the BC Gaming Commission. Our programs are also funded through our fee for service and through individual donations.
