Students attend counselling for a range of reasons including:

• assist you to develop skills to help you succeed in your studies (e.g. ways to manage exam anxiety)
• support requests for extensions or deferred exams when personal issues affect your studies
• provide you with information and/or referral to other services when specialised information or support is needed

What we don't do...

• tell you what to do or judge you
• share your personal information with others without your permission
• provide long term counselling
• approve extensions for assignment deadlines
• provide complaint resolution and advocacy services
