UTS Wellbeing Coaches
The UTS Wellbeing Coaches are current students or recent graduates from a wide range of backgrounds. If you have questions, concerns, or simply want to talk something through with someone who understands what university life is like, you can either drop in or make an appointment with a Wellbeing Coach.
Coaching Sessions
The Wellbeing Coaches offer 1:1 coaching sessions. These are relaxed conversations with a current student or recent graduate who understands what it’s like to navigate university life. Our goal is to support students holistically, addressing both academic and personal challenges to help them feel more confident, connected, and in control.
Coaching sessions are designed to support:
- Students settling into uni life and navigating early challenges
- Anyone unsure about processes like enrolment, Census, or finding support
- Students wanting a calm space to talk to someone who will listen
- Anyone who isn’t sure where to go or what service to speak to next
What we can help with:
- General guidance on uni systems and where to find the right support
- Talking through your experience and feeling heard
- Redirection to suitable services (HELPS, Accessibility, Counselling, Financial Assistance, etc.)
- Helping you figure out your next steps
The benefits:
- Personalised support from a Wellbeing Coach (ask questions, problem-solving, connect with essential support services, celebrate your wins!).
- Excellent start to university that can provide what you need to be successful at university.
- People to talk to when you are on campus.
