Counselling & Online Therapy in Mississauga
Professional Mental Health Support, a Short Drive, or a Click Away
Mississauga is a city of three-quarters of a million people and very few counselling options that are actually convenient to where you live.
The city is spread out. What is close to Port Credit is nowhere near Meadowvale. Traffic on the 403 at six o'clock turns a fifteen-minute drive into forty. A practice that looks ideal on a map can turn out to be entirely impractical on a Tuesday evening.
C.S. Counselling & Consulting Services supports Mississauga residents with individual, couples, family, children, youth, and mental health counselling. You can meet our team virtually or attend in person at our Brampton clinic, which sits close to the Mississauga border on the north side.
We do not operate a clinic in Mississauga. Our office is at:
2250 Bovaird Drive E, Suite 408, Brampton, ON L6R 0W3Start With a Conversation

What Mississauga Residents Come to Us About
Sometimes the question is not which type of therapy you need. It is why you have been feeling this way for months.
Depending on your needs and your therapist's scope, counselling may address:
Anxiety, worry, and stress
Depression and low mood
Relationship and marriage concerns
Family conflict and parent-teen difficulties
Anger and difficulty managing strong emotions
Alcohol-related concerns
Domestic abuse and unhealthy relationships
Low self-esteem and confidence
Grief, loss, and bereavement
Separation, divorce, and family change
Burnout and work pressure
IVF and fertility-related emotional concerns
Immigration, settlement, and cultural adjustment
We work with individuals, couples, families, children, and youth.
Where You Are in Mississauga Matters
Our clinic is on the northeast side of Brampton, which makes the practical calculation very different depending on your neighbourhood.
North Mississauga
North Mississauga, including Malton, Derry, Lisgar, and parts of Meadowvale, is genuinely close. Airport Road, Highway 410, and Mississauga Road all run north, and for many people here the clinic is nearer than somewhere in their own city centre.
Central Mississauga
Central Mississauga, around Square One, Cooksville, Erin Mills, and Streetsville, is a moderate drive of roughly half an hour depending on traffic.
South Mississauga
South Mississauga, including Port Credit, Lakeview, Clarkson, and Lorne Park, is further out. Virtual counselling is often the more realistic option unless you are already travelling north.
Travelling to the Brampton Clinic
| Mississauga Area | Approx. Distance | Typical Drive Range* |

| Derry / Lisgar | 15–20 km | 20–28 min |
| Meadowvale | 20–25 km | 20–30 min |
| Streetsville | 20–24 km | 25–35 min |
| Square One / City Centre | 23–26 km | 25–35 min |
| Erin Mills | 25–30 km | 30–40 min |
| Cooksville | 26–30 km | 30–40 min |
| Port Credit / Lakeview | 35–40 km | 35–50 min |
| Clarkson / Lorne Park | 35–42 km | 40–55 min |

Accessibility at the Brampton Clinic
The building is wheelchair accessible, with elevator access to the fourth floor and an accessible washroom on our floor. Designated accessible parking spaces are available.
If you need an accommodation of any kind, mention it when you get in touch.
Online Counselling Across Mississauga
Virtual counselling is available across Ontario with selected therapists rather than the whole team. Mention it when you get in touch and we will tell you who is available.
It tends to make sense when:
- You are in the south or west of the city, and the drive would take most of an evening
- Your work schedule is unpredictable, or you work shifts
- You are managing childcare or caring for a relative
- You commute into Toronto and have nothing left at the end of the day
- You do not drive, and transit between Mississauga and Brampton is impractical
- You would rather speak from the privacy of home
You need a private space, a reliable connection, and a suitable device.
Explore Online CounsellingWhy Mississauga Residents Choose C.S. Counselling
Choosing counselling is not only about finding the right service. You also need to feel comfortable enough to say the things that are difficult to say.
We have supported clients since 2011. The practice is led by Coslyn Selby, RSW, a psychotherapist and registered social worker with over 20 years of professional counselling experience, and our team includes registered psychotherapists, registered social workers, and a Canadian certified counsellor.
Every clinician's registration number is published, so you can verify it independently.
Listen.
We start with what you have been experiencing rather than assuming we already know.
Understand.
Work, family, culture, history, and circumstances may all be relevant. You decide which parts matter.
Support.
We work toward an appropriate direction based on your needs and your therapist's training and scope.
Depending on the clinician, counselling may draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, compassion-focused approaches, mindfulness-informed strategies and person-centred work.
Culture, Language, and Family Life
Mississauga is one of the most diverse cities in Canada, and that shapes what people bring to counselling.
Immigration and settlement, credentials that did not transfer, family expectations across generations, multigenerational households, and the isolation that can follow a move are all common themes here.
Sessions may be available in:
English
Hindi
Punjabi
Urdu
Gujarati
Sessions may be available in English, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, and Gujarati, depending on which clinician you see. Mention it when you get in touch and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
Culturally responsive counselling does not mean assuming your background explains what you are going through. It means letting you decide which parts of your story are relevant.
Flexible Counselling Options
In Person or Virtual?
Neither is automatically better.
Virtual may suit you
if travel time, traffic, work hours, or caregiving are the deciding factors.
You are not locked in. Many clients attend in person when it suits and switch to online when it does not.
