Student Counselling and Mental Health Advice Service

The Student Counselling Service is a free and confidential self-referral service available to all registered students. You can arrange a therapeutic consultation with a qualified and experienced counsellor to discuss your difficulties in a confidential and non-judgemental environment. You will be able to discuss whether counselling might be helpful and what other sources of support might be appropriate.

The Service also provides mental health advice and support for students with moderate to severe or enduring mental health difficulties.
