Counselling
Services and More information
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.
Counselling for students at Box Hill Institute is free and confidential. For more information, or to make an appointment to see a counsellor contact Student Life or book here. All of our counsellors are registered psychologists.
For urgent assistance see After hours crisis assistance.
