A mindful approach to university counseling

A young person sits on a sofa speaking with a counselor, who is seated opposite and taking notes. The calm, home-like room features bookshelves, plants, and a coffee table with a glass of water.

Dr Kailyn Fullerton explores how going beyond grades, admissions statistics, and application outcomes can help counselors better support students and families. Through mindful listening, recognising unhelpful thought patterns, and modelling healthy emotional regulation, counselors can help students navigate the stress and uncertainty of the university application process.
