Our Services
Mental Health & Wellbeing Counselling at St Mary’s University offers a client-centred, strength-based approach to mental health and wellness. Our services are open to all students, both Domestic and International. Students have the opportunity to build skills and capacity in managing matters that may get in the way of everyday life and coping. The counselling staff offers therapy in the areas of personal and academic wellness. Stress-induced anxiousness and depression are the top two mental health conditions that students experience in educational environments and one in five individuals have or will have experienced a mental health condition. There are times when we feel overwhelmed, lost, or simply experience difficulty coping with issues. Without someone to talk to, life’s issues can go from bad to worse. Mental Health & Wellbeing Counselling services offers a variety of support services that are confidential and free of charge.
We offer 8 free confidential sessions per student per academic year.
