Counselling Support

At ACAP you have access by self-referral to our free and confidential counselling support service. Our team of counsellors are experienced, registered with national accrediting bodies and are here to support you to work on your personal and academic potential.

Support when you need it most

We understand that studying can be challenging, and your health and wellbeing are important to us. Individual counselling support at ACAP is offered short-term. Enrolled students can access the service throughout their studies.

  • Our counsellors can provide advice, coping strategies and appropriate resources where needed for both personal and academic issues.
  • Our counsellors do not provide psychological assessments, mediation or support letters.
  • Counselling is only available to students currently in Australia.

 

How to book a session

To provide easy access to the counselling service you can book via zoom or phone, specific counsellor, or a face to face session at an ACAP campus.
