If you are having difficulty with studying successfully, you may find counselling to be helpful. Students typically come to counselling for the following study related concerns:
- Academic confidence issues
- Difficulties wuth concentration or motivation
- Study related procrastination
- Anxiety relating to exam performance
- Communication problems with Academic Staff
- Time management concerns
- Perfectionism
- Decisions about whether to change course, take study leave etc
Students can also discuss the impact of personal problems on their studies. Counselling can help with strategies to contain the level of psychological distress and reduce the impact on study.
If you have general concerns about academic performance, counselling can take a coaching approach, providing both coaching support and self-coaching information.
