Unisa student counsellors are available to help you address career, academic, and personal issues that affect your study success. We offer a free and confidential service to students. Unisa staff can access the Employee Assistance Programme. You can have discussions with counsellors by e-mail to counselling@unisa.ac.za as well as appointments via Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams is a communication tool that can be used to chat using video, audio, and text.
You can self-refer to our counselling services, meaning that if you need to discuss aspects that are affecting your studies, you can contact us directly to discuss your needs. Sometimes one discussion is enough, but should you have more complex needs, longer-term counselling can be discussed with the student counsellor. During the initial discussion, the counsellor will work with you to understand your current situation and concerns. Together, you and the counsellor will then decide on the arrangement of further sessions. Most likely, the counsellor will also discuss with you the self-help materials which you might access to complement the work we do with you. As part of this process, we would also consider whether the online sessions will best suit your needs at this time and how best to access appropriate support.
We also have a wide range of self-help information available on ourwebsite covering issues including career management, study skills, managing challenges more effectively, relationship problems, and bereavement and grief.
