Counselling Services

The Counselling Services is an integral part of the Student Services of Monash University Malaysia. The service ensures that Students and staff of the university have access to psychological counselling during office hours.

The objective of the Service is to help students and staff through difficulties, dilemmas and anxieties concerning them, making their experience at Monash University Malaysia a better one.

The Service focuses on the needs and goals of the person, and facilitates in enhancing their coping skills.

Drawing from these objectives, “Transitional Issues” and “Assertive Skills” workshops are conducted during the Orientation Week to help new students settle into their new environment and adapt to a different learning experience. 

Apart from counselling, the Service also organizes monthly lunch time talks for students and staff on topics that correspond to their needs.

The Service provides a channel for students and staff members to give and receive feedback about their concerns.
