Australia has been the study destination of choice for many international students with over 880,000 enrolments in 2020 and nearly 14,000 here in Canberra.
While studying abroad has many enjoyable benefits, living away from home and studying in a foreign country can be stressful. Many international students feel the pressure to achieve high marks and experience stress, anxiety and depression. They can also feel lonely, isolated and homesick.
With many years specialising in supporting and counselling international students, we know that by being genuinely personable and culturally responsive in our therapeutic approach helps our clients feel supported, and provides reassurance for parents who are overseas.
We have worked with students from places such as China, India, Korea, Bhutan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Cambodia, United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea and South Pacific regions.
