Counselling
Services and More information
** March 2025 update: Please note that the current average wait time for a counselling appointment is three weeks. You can check availability here on the online booking system **
We encourage students to initially book a Mental Health Check-up to have a short appointment with a Counsellor and discuss if the counselling service would be suitable for you. You can book the Mental Health Check-up here.
Counselling for students at Box Hill Institute is free and confidential. Counselling with a psychologist offers a safe space to talk about any concerns (thoughts, feelings, experiences, behaviours) openly and without judgement with a professional who will assist you to sort through them and make positive changes. If you are having any difficulties in adjusting to life as a student, managing the demands of studying or coping with life's challenges, perhaps it's time to ask for assistance. You can book a Counselling appointment here.
All of our counsellors are registered psychologists (General and provisional).
For urgent assistance see After hours crisis assistance.
For Career Counselling, please see Skills and Jobs Centre.
