Mental Health Counselling

Book an Appointment

At Nisa Foundation, we firmly believe that every woman, regardless of background, deserves unwavering access to mental health support and resources.

In a world where cultural and social barriers hinder Muslim women from receiving the mental health care they deserve, we refuse to accept limitations. 


To address this growing need for our services, we’re pleased to offer a free Mental Health Counselling program for women. With this new service, Canadian residents (14 and over) can now book 5 phone counselling sessions with licensed therapists at no cost to you.  

Our goal is to equip you with the tools, techniques, and strategies to manage the day-to-day stressors of life and address your needs.

FAQs

Who can book a Counselling appointment?

This service is only available for Canadian residents (women), 14 and over.

What types of therapy do the providers use?

Our licensed therapists offer Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).  They may also utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and other techniques depending on the needs of the client. However, as this service is considered short-term counselling the main type of therapy utilized will be SFBT.

Is my information secure?

Your privacy and the security of your information is of utmost importance to us. Electronic personal information shared with Nisa Helpline is stored in a secure and encrypted way. Your information will never be shared publicly or with third-party apps.

How much does it cost?

The helpline is free.  The counselling service offers 5 free sessions and there’re no hidden costs.  

How will I know if therapy is working for me?

Progress around therapy may look different for each client. This may be changes in mood, thoughts, feelings, relationships, or movement towards a particular goal. It is truly subjective for everyone.    

If applicable, you will walk away with a relevant list of resources from our licensed therapists at the end of your three sessions.    

Note: Being in therapy does not mean you will feel better right away. It is an intentional process; you will truly get back what you put into it. The more committed you are the better your results.
