Being in university can be a very stressful environment, and it tends to get even more stressful around exam time. The Student Support and Counselling Centre of the University of Pretoria comprises of a team of highly qualified clinical psychologists and social workers that offer a wide range of support in the form of academic, emotional and therapeutic support, and can help with psychological issues, stress related issues, trauma, family problems, substance abuse, and sexual abuse, to name a few. Student Support offers services in groups and in individual consultations, and it is encouraged that any student that feels they may need support seek out Student Support for screening, as their services are free of charge and can be very beneficial.

The wellbeing of students is their priority and they want students to use these services to ensure that students put themselves in the best position to obtain their degrees and have success in life.
