About
Who We Are
Greater Victoria Citizens’ Counselling Centre formed as a society in 1969. Like many grassroots community organizations, we started at a kitchen table with a group of passionate caring people talking about what if…
The vision they shared was a community that had the capacity to provide quality emotional support to each other when life’s challenges presented themselves.
The vision was, and still is, a resilient, supportive and inclusive community.
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 will build capacity through state of the heart counselling.
