Access counselling services

Where to find support

Curtin College offers a personalised and professional Counselling service

Mental Health and other life challenges may impact our sense of wellbeing. Speaking to a trained Professional Counsellor in a confidential and non-judgement space can be useful to clarify what is important; highlighting our own ability to solve problems and cope with difficult situations; meet our goals; and empower us to lead a worthwhile life and communicate in a healthy and helpful way, that is meaningful for us.

Curtin College has a Student Counsellor, and we can also provide referrals to the Curtin University Counselling Service offers Psychological, Counselling and Accessibility Services.

You can book an appointment with our Student Counsellor on 6266 1600 Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm.  Appointments can be in person or via zoom.
