The university's counselling service provides a year-round service of groups, workshops, self-help resources and individual counselling. Support is free and confidential, provided by professionally qualified counsellors who can offer help with personal and psychological problems.

Spring workshop programme

Workshop sessions will have input from the counsellor running it, as well as reflective exercises to allow discussion and sharing of experiences from students attending. They are often focused on finding practical ways of managing specific issues.

How to sign up

If you are a new student or have not used the service for four months, access is now by referral only. This means that to arrange an appointment with the counselling service you will need to meet with a member of staff from one of the following teams:

• Support & Wellbeing
• ResX
• Disability Support
• Report and Support

These can all be accessed through MyWellbeing in the StudentLife Hub.

Please note, if you complete a registration form without first being referred or are referred by someone not from one of the above teams, you will be redirected to meet with one of the above, so that a counselling referral can be properly completed.

This does not apply to those already signed up to the service. Faculty of Medicine and Health Science students on placement should follow their specific process.
