Our Counselling Office offers free and confidential counselling sessions to all enrolled students. We provide a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space for you to talk about anything that may be affecting your wellbeing, studies, or university life.

Counselling is not only for times of crisis. It can also help you gain clarity, build coping skills, and better understand yourself as you navigate academic and personal challenges.

What to expect

Counselling sessions are by appointment only and available in person or via Zoom from Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm. Your first session will be an intake session, where a counsellor will take time to understand your concerns and thereafter you will be matched with a counsellor who best supports your needs for subsequent counselling sessions.
