Welcome to the Student Counselling and Mental Health Advice Service

The service remains open to students and we are here to support you.

Following on from International Women’s Day we would like to make students aware that there is a great deal of support available for women to help safeguard you and your mental health. We have highlighted some resources that you may find useful in the first box below.

We are continuing to provide access to our services via online digital platforms. Initial conversations and ongoing counselling appointments are being run via Microsoft Teams. If you would like to book an appointment with a counsellor please click here. You can also contact us directly at counselling@imperial.ac.uk. Emails are being monitored Mon-Fri within the hours of 9:00 until 17:00 except during bank holidays and college closure dates. We have lots of other sources of help and support in the boxes below that you may find useful.

BACE is a behavioural activation technique based on the evidence that we feel better when we do activities that look after our Bodies, provide us with a sense of Achievement, that brings Connection or Closeness to others or activities which we Enjoy and bring us pleasure (BACE). If we can look after the 'BACE-ics', we'll be looking after our mental health and wellbeing.
