Many students revise like they’re robots… then feel worse when they can’t follow the plan perfectly. 🤖

Try:
✨ Work around your realistic energy (not best-case energy)
⏳ Leave a buffer
📝 Aim for small daily review cycles (so you’re not re-learning everything come study week)
🌿 Include rest as part of the plan, not a reward

A plan is meant to support you — not become another thing you ‘fail’ at.

Sometimes it’s not the workload — it’s the pressure around it. Many students carry unspoken expectations:
💭 “I should be coping better.”
💭 “Everyone else seems fine.”
💭 “If I fall behind, I’ve failed.”

Academic stress doesn’t only come from exams. It can come from pressure, comparison, self-criticism, or fear of disappointing others — and that can affect motivation, sleep, and wellbeing.
If studying feels heavier than it should, that’s worth paying attention to. Psychological support can help unpack what’s underneath the stress and build skills that increase confidence and ease 🧠✨

Our team can support students with study stress, motivation, performance pressure, and self-belief. If you’d like support, we’re here 💛

Public speaking can really strike fear into the hearts of students and those also past the student stage!

Earlier this month our senior clinical psychologist Dr Joyce Chong presented to the UWA Women in Science Community of Practice on the topic of managing public speaking nerves.

The community is a great network supporting female researchers in STEM and medicine.

This workshop, drawing on our Speaking Volumes program, helped attendees to:
💛 Tailor the messaging of their findings to various audiences (peers, media, students)
💛 Work on presentation style (verbal and non-verbal)
💛 Handle tricky questions, and
💛 Shift unhelpful self-talk that drives up the public speaking nerves

Why is gratitude one of our favourite happiness habits? You see, consistently focusing your outlook on the positives in a day can help to:
💜 Boost your mood
💜 Shift you towards a glass-is-half-full outlook
💜 Reduce stress
💜 Improve connections

Our pro tip? At the start of the day, think of three things you’re grateful for - it sets your day off to a more positive start, and can enhance your resilience for what comes your way that day.
