Each woman using June's Centre has a counsellor who is available to her for personal counselling, information and advocacy. The purpose of establishing these trusting relationships is to encourage women to seek support, both in clarifying their plans and in exercising their rights in systems which can appear overwhelming and threatening. Many of these women must deal with legal, financial, health or child welfare crises and their age and inexperience sometimes makes it difficult for them to assert themselves. Counsellors assist them in acquiring the resources they need to more effectively have their needs met by the community and to more confidently assume the many adult responsibilities their decision to parent places upon them.

There are four counsellors who have the specific role of working individually with the women who use June's Centre. The counsellor has initial contact with each new woman in an "intake" interview, at which time the young woman is made aware of the various services available at June's Centre. This interview is also an opportunity to identify the particular issues in her life with which she needs support. Once the issues are established, a plan is devised, and the counsellor coordinates, with the help of other staff and when appropriate, with outside agencies the most feasible way of being a support to mother and child.

The counsellor can be involved with the young woman for a short period dealing with immediate crisis intervention or she may establish a long-term relationship with ongoing follow-up, through the use of the drop-in, groups, and or telephone contacts.
