Counselling Services

Our aim is to assist you to manage your lifestyle as well as your academic progression, and to assist you to improve your confidence in managing the challenges that occur during your time at university here in Wollongong.

We are part of Student Support and Peer Learning. This means that our aim is to support students with a whole range of issues in the educational environment. Our main service is individual counselling, but we also co-ordinate a skills group to support students with a range of issues to improve their confidence and social support. We also run a series of workshops for Post Grad Research students in conjunction with the Research Centre.

We also see staff for assistance with issues you are encountering while working here at UOW. We are keen to assist staff in their engagement with students, including specific student needs or more general issues including family, work or lifestyle matters.

We also provide a range of websites which contain helpful information to assist you, whether you are simply inquiring, keen to learn more or to improve your everyday life.

The counselling offered is confidential. All counsellors are registered psychologists and are enthusiastic for providing high quality professional relevant expertise in the university setting.
