Student Psychologist
University life can be challenging, and it’s okay to need support. Our student psychologists offer free, short-term help for personal, social, and study-related issues.
We can assist with:

- Social difficulties – loneliness, family struggles
- Study stress – performance anxiety, motivation issues
After an initial consultation, we’ll determine the best support for you, whether it’s individual sessions (up to 5), online self-help modules, group training, or external referrals.
