The UNE CAPS team are professionally qualified and registered psychologists and counsellors, who offer support no matter the stage of your student journey.

We know study does not happen in a bubble and things like personal circumstances, mental health, relationships, stress and adjustment issues can impact your study. We have a number of appointments available to support you with these challenges and improve your academic outcomes.

Wellness check

Students contacting the Counselling and Psychological Service for the first time (or those recontacting the service after 12months) are booked in for a "Wellness Check" appointment. This a 30-minute introductory appointment to discuss our services and assess how we can best support you.

Book a Wellness Check here

Note: We are currently experiencing a high demand for Wellness Check appointments. If you require an earlier appointment than what is available on our booking tool, please phone reception to enquire.

Counselling appointments

Students can access hour long appointments with one of our psychologists or counsellors after you have completed a Wellness Check. Generally, up to three (3) counselling appointments per trimester are available to students.

Please see our Information for Clients handout.

You may want a 'study gym' session. Let the counsellor be your 'personal trainer' to help boost your confidence, overcome exam or presentation anxiety, manage your time, avoid procrastination, and improve your concentration and memory for effective exam revision.

For enquiries and to make an appointment:

Call (02) 6773 2897 or Email studentcounselling@une.edu.au or via AskUNE

Face to face, phone and zoom sessions are currently available.

In-person sessions are held on our Armidale campus.

If you experience any difficulties with logging in to make a Wellness Check appointment or completing the intake form, please contact the Wellness Centre reception for support.
