A full range of affordable mental health services including peer support,
counselling and therapy – led by registered mental health professionals

Divergent Counselling

Not every life problem requires an expensive counselling solution, and not every life problem is best helped by a mental health professional. At Divergent Counselling, we believe that different people can benefit from different tools, which is why we have introduced a range of counselling and therapy options. Our range of options are intended to minimize the cost of getting help (no need to pay over $100 an hour if you don’t need to), and to provide person-centred, holistic services.

Led by John Jackson, RPN, who is the CEO of Divergent Counselling, we have a range of professionals available to support you based on your need. Divergent Counselling is proud to introduce Peer Support Counsellors- people who have lived experience with mental health or addictions, who can support you on your journey. Additionally, we have a number of staff who belong to both regulated (social workers, psychiatric nurses) professions, and people who have a combination of experience and education but are not regulated staff. All the professionals working at Divergent Counselling are committed to working with you in a person-centred, ethical manner under the leadership of Mr. Jackson.

We’re currently accepting new clients for peer support, therapy & counselling.

We accept online payments:

Why Choose Us

No waiting list

When you decide you need help, you need it quickly. Unfortunately, the public health care system comes with long wait lists, even in rural settings. At Divergent Counselling, we have sessions available to see you quickly, so you don't have to wait.

Confidentiality

If you're from a small, rural community, you know how quickly everyone learns about your business- even when you've seen a counselor in a confidential setting. The benefit of coming to Brandon for counseling is that you have an increased level of privacy and confidentiality.
