Our mission is to provide you with the support you need to succeed in your studies and work at UNE. Study and work do not occur in a vacuum. Things happen that can impact on your ability to be as focussed, motivated, satisfied or organised as you normally would be. If you are unsure how to talk to those around you about your concerns, it can be helpful to run things past a counsellor. You might, for example, want support to tackle academic concerns such as managing your time, avoiding procrastination, overcoming exam or presentation anxiety, or self-doubts about your abilities. Or you might want to tackle personal concerns such as relationships (with friends, work colleagues, partners, family), managing stress, adjusting to being at university, home sickness, a sudden loss or crisis/trauma, low mood or depression, or whether to study or not.

We provide face-to-face and phone counselling to individuals and groups  on an appointment basis.

The counselling team, situated within Student ASSIST, comprises professionally qualified and registered social workers and/or psychologists.

For more information on counselling for students and staff at UNE, or to make an appointment, contact Student ASSIST on 02 6773 2897 or counselling.service@une.edu.au.

Please note that we do not offer email counselling, but your initial contact with us can be via email. Also note that for phone appointments, we will phone you at the prearranged time (on your landline number if possible, otherwise mobile number at our expense).

We are situated in the Student ASSIST Building CO37, located near the Campus Essentials Newsagency and the Delimarche Cafe (see Campus Maps link).
