Individual Meetings
If you are currently attending St. Lawrence, you may book an appointment online with the Guidance Counsellor by logging into Omnivox. You will have the option of selecting an appointment according to your needs (e.g. quick question or follow-up meeting for career counselling).
Work with a guidance counsellor may sometimes be short-term and focused on providing specific information; however, often times, if you are feeling completely lost, stuck, feeling anxious about decisions or highly unmotivated, regular meetings are scheduled to help you figure out how to get unstuck and give you tools to help you find a path that fits you.
