ANU Counselling promotes, supports and enhances mental health and wellbeing within the ANU community.
We are a free, confidential and non-diagnostic service available to all currently enrolled ANU students located in Australia. Students currently located overseas are encouraged to make contact, we can advise about alternative support options. No referral or Mental Health Treatment Plan from a General Practitioner is required to register and attend appointments.
ANU Counselling has a range of helpful resources in addition to our counselling services. These include our Mental Health Resources, Group Programs, Talking Tips and Mindfulness course.
ANU Counselling offers trauma counselling for students that have experienced sexual assault and/or sexual harassment during their time at university. Please inform the counsellor this is what you are seeking and your counsellor will discuss internal and external treatment options with you.
