Our purpose is to help students deal effectively with any emotional and psychological issues in their life affecting their lives while studying at Saint Mary's University. Learning new skills and taking responsibility for choices are main themes in our work both individually and in groups. Due to significant and social changes, todays students arrive on campus with more problems and are balancing courses, work and for the majority mounting debt. Our service aims to support and counsel students to deal with their personal issues effecting their academic and career paths.
Counsellors help students work through the problems they identify in a goal-oriented manner.
A computer assisted career exploration program, Choices CT, and a collection of career resource information, are available for student use. Counselling Services offers assistance with academic difficulties, including support while on academic probation, learning strategies to improve grades and exam anxiety.
