We know that during your time as a student at Regent, you may require some additional help and support to navigate the complexities of life. We know that during your time as a student at Regent, you may require some additional help and support to navigate the complexities of life. Whether you live with mental health challenges, have experienced trauma, or simply want to grow in attentiveness to your emotions—you may find counselling helpful.

Regent's Dean of Students Office facilitates a counselling service available to all students studying at Regent College. Regent students also have access to a wide range of mental health and wellness services provided by the University of British Columbia.

If you know you could use some extra support but aren't sure what steps to take, please don't hesitate to get in touch with the Dean of Students team. We'd love to work with you to find the support you need.

Regent's Counselling Network

Regent College is privileged to have a network of counsellors and therapists in the Vancouver area, based on their evangelical Christian confession, their professional competence and clinical experience, alongside their standing within the local Christian community. These counsellors are committed to helping Regent students by offering discounted rates. Rates vary between individual counsellors, and it is your responsibility to establish the rate and make payment to the counsellor of your choice.

Note: Regent College does not provide medical or psychiatric assistance. For psychiatric help, the individual’s medical doctor is the appropriate referral professional.

How It Works

This service is self-referral. A binder with the professional bios, areas of specialization, and contacts of participating counsellors is available outside Office 227 (Associate Dean of Students' Office). Current students can also access this list via Moodle (link is provided in the main text of the Moodle page). On the basis of this information, you decide upon the appropriate counsellor for your need. While the College provides this referral information for competent Christian therapists, we are not in a position to recommend any particular counsellor to you.

AMS Reimbursement

For students with the AMS coverage your plan includes a counselling subsidy ($1250). You will be required to pay the counsellor directly and file for reimbursement through AMS once you have receipts for these appointments.
