What we offer

Services are provided by experienced psychological counsellor Shani St. Louis.

Pre-Travel Orientation

The Pre-Travel Orientation prepares students for the cultural adjustment of living and studying in a new country. It aims to normalise mental health and give students the tools they need to maximise their wellness and develop resilience whilst abroad.

Workshops

We offer a wide range of workshops for students, homestay hosts and academic faculties. These workshops foster self-prioritisation, provide insights for supportive hosting, and empower educators to contribute significantly to students' lifelong well-being and growth.

On-Site Orientation

This workshop prepares students for the cultural adjustment of living and studying in a new country. It aims to normalise mental health and give students the tools they need to maximise their wellness and develop resilience whilst abroad.

Group Activities

From painting to breathing excercise to outdoor experiences, our group activities aim to provide a space of self-exploration for students and give them the possibility to build meaningful connection with their peers.

One-on-One Counselling

Individual counselling provides a safe and confidential space to students, offering a range of therapeutic techniques rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Each therapy session is personalised to meet the student's direct needs.

Consultations

Our consultations can be booked to discuss the needs of an individual student or cohort. This confidential space will allow faculty to plan appropriate mental health and wellbeing intervention.

"Thank you so much, Shani. You really cleared the path in many ways. Even when words didn’t feel right inside of me, you helped me see things more clearly. You truly have a gift in what you do. I admire your ability to always be present, thank you for having such humanity."
