Words such as culture, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexuality, and poverty are extremely prevalent in counselling today. Counselling does not exist in a sealed space. Sometimes it can feel like what is happening in the outside world is shut out of the counselling room, but it is not and has never been. Our lives are filled with injustices, economic difficulties, and unforeseeable circumstances. Counselling exists to serve the needs of the people within our communities. As counsellors, we seek to make the world a better place by promoting equality, freedom of choice, and diversity, and we believe everyone should have access to exceptional therapy. Social Justice pursues equality in the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.

Social Justice Therapy is high quality therapeutic treatment that is provided by registered therapy professionals for people that would not otherwise be able to afford private pay counselling. Often clients wait for years on government funded waitlists, not receiving the quality of care or the frequency of care that they need. Skylark Counselling vows to minimize this gap, by paying specialized counselling professionals full private pay wages, to ensure people who can’t afford treatment, get the therapy they need.
