Welcome

Welcome to the Counselling Centre homepage

The ANU offers a free and confidential counselling service to all current ANU students and staff. Counselling services to students are provided by Counsellors in the Counselling Centre, while services to staff are provided by the Adviser to Staff or by external advisers.

Your counsellor will help you to:

  • get a better understanding of your problem
  • strengthen your resources for handling the problem
  • find an effective solution.

Counselling is generally short-term, and your counsellor will aim to help you resolve your problem in the shortest possible time.

The information you provide to us as health professionals is personal and private. Please see ourConfidentiality and Disclosure of Information policy. If you are concerned about someone who may be attending counselling, please see our Information for concerned family and friends.
