The university's counselling service provides a year-round service including groups and 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. 

If you are a new student of 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 - based in schools
• ResX - based in university accommodation
• Disability Support - found via Student Services
• Report and Support - provide support to student reporting incidents to the university

The above 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.
