Counselling for students

No issue is too big, or too small

Counselling can help you with problems like coping with study or university life, stress, anxiety and depression, loneliness, drug and alcohol abuse and addictions, negative feelings and suicidal thoughts, relationship and family issues.

Where to get help

You can make an in-person appointment on campus with one of our counsellors, or you can request a Telehealth (video) consultation.

If you're a Monash student, your appointment will be free.

Getting help for a friend

Listening is important when helping a friend through hard times, but sometimes they need more help than you can give.

If you’re concerned about a friend's mental health, encourage your friend to:

  • book a Telehealth (video) consultation
  • seek support from their family
  • contact their doctor
  • call the Benestar phone counselling service on 1300 788 336 (open 24/7).
