Counselling Services
Moving to a new country is an exciting adventure, but it can also be challenging to suddenly lose your support network of family and friends.
​
Challenges include adjusting to the new environment, new routines, integrating into a new social and academic context, the demands of study, finding a job and managing financial obligations.
​
Our qualified and experienced Counsellors offer a safe and supportive space to express the issues that are important to students in order to gain direction or strategies to overcome them. Counselling sessions are strictly confidential; AAPoly (Language Links) is committed to respecting privacy around personal matters.
Connecting with our counselling services can help towards improving mental health and well-being, making your time in Australia more enjoyable.
