COUNSELLING UNI T As we go through life, we are faced with many personal decisions and challenging problems. These can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming to handle. Many problems are solved through discussions with colleagues, friends, family, a lecturer, tutor, nurse, chaplain or counsellor. In some instances, it is best to obtain assistance away from one’s familiar daily environment. The University’s Counselling Unit is available to assist in addressing the needs of individuals who find it too challenging to adequately cope with life’s situations. Getting professional help is about seeking viable options towards positive change and empowerment in one’s life. Although there is no quick fix to every situation, talking confidentially with a trained professional is a major step towards resolving an issue. “EXC E L L E NC E THROUGH KNOWL E DG E ” DI V I S I ON OF ST UD E NT SE R V I C E S AND RE G I S T RY 49
