What is Know Thyself about?

University is a time of learning, growth and new opportunities. It's also a time of becoming, discovering who you are, what matters to you, and how you want to meet life's challenges. Alongside academic demands, many students are navigating greater independence, changing relationships, questions about identity, and the pressure to succeed. While this can be exciting, it can also bring stress, self-doubt, and emotional ups and downs as you adjust to new expectations and responsibilities.

Know Thyself was designed to support this journey. By helping you better understand your inner world, you'll learn to recognise what your thoughts, emotions, and reactions are communicating, making it easier to respond with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

What you’ll gain

Understand yourself more deeply
Learn what your thoughts, emotions and reactions are communicating.

Reconnect with your inner strengths
Develop practical skills to reconnect with a steady centre within, helping you draw on your strengths during difficult times.

Stay connected to what matters
Develop the skills to stay grounded in your values and what's important to you, even when life feels uncertain.

Build a healthier relationship with yourself

How it works

1. Register

2. Learn at your own pace

Complete one online module each week. Each module takes around one hour and includes practical activities, little quizzes, and reflections.

3. Connect with a UQ Counsellor

Meet weekly with a UQ Counsellor online or over the phone to reflect on your learning, ask questions and support your progress through the modules.

4. Continue your journey

Apply what you've learned from the program in everyday life and access other UQ Counselling services as you continue developing greater insight, understanding and self-compassion.

Are feeling stressed, overwhelmed or stuck.

Notice patterns you'd like to understand rather than repeat.

Would like to respond to yourself with greater clarity and self-compassion.
