Need someone to talk to? Free online counselling

Life as a student can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging. Whether you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, struggling with relationships, dealing with personal issues, or simply need someone to talk to, support is available.

Otago Polytechnic students can access free and confidential counselling through Vitae, an independent professional counselling service. Vitae counsellors are experienced in supporting people through a wide range of personal, family, study, and wellbeing concerns.

Seeking support is a positive step towards looking after your wellbeing. You don't need to be in crisis to talk with a counsellor. Many students find it helpful to have a confidential space to discuss challenges, gain perspective, and develop strategies to support their wellbeing and success.

Vitae offers:

• Free confidential counselling for Otago Polytechnic students

• Support with stress, anxiety, low mood, and wellbeing concerns

• Assistance with relationship, family, financial, or personal challenges

• Flexible appointments, including phone and online options

If you think talking with someone could help, we encourage you to reach out.
