Making an appointment
For all information, inquiries or to make an appointment, please use the contact details below. You can also drop into the Ask Me! Student Services centres or the counselling team offices between the hours of 8.30am-4.30pm to book a 30-60 minute session. If you don’t have an appointment but need to see a counsellor urgently, we will arrange a time as soon as possible.
We also offer counselling sessions via phone for when it's difficult to get into our offices. This service is also available when MIT campuses and facilities are closed for COVID-19 or other health and safety measures. As with all our counselling sessions, these are free and confidential.
