Student Counselling & Support

Canterbury provides industry leading psychological services to students, their families, and the wider College community.

Canterbury provides a whole school approach to counselling services in order to cater for the complexities associated with modern day schooling. We respond to the needs of our student body through a dedicated pastoral care program that feeds into a comprehensive referral process. Evidence-based psychological interventions are provided on campus to students and their families.

  • Individual counselling
  • Group counselling
  • Social skills support groups
  • Psycho-education programs
  • Mediation
  • Conflict resolution and restorative justice practices
  • Referral pathways and collaboration with external allied health professionals such as psychiatrists, paediatricians and psychologists.
