About Us
Our Teams
Counselling Team
Our counsellors help students to manage difficulties impacting their engagement with study and University life. Counselling sessions offer a space for reflection and are different from giving advice, requiring motivation and active participation. Counselling is not recommended at a time of crisis but can be helpful when the crisis is over and there is space to reflect.
Psychological Wellbeing Team
The Psychological Wellbeing team offers psychoeducational workshops, webinars and 1:1 interventions to help students manage their mental wellbeing
Mental Health Advice Team
The Mental Health Advisors are professionals with a background in the NHS and social care. We do not provide mental health treatment but offer advice to students with complex and severe mental health difficulties and can help you to link up with NHS and specialist services locally. We also coordinate University support for students with a mental health disability and meet with students planning offsite activities.
Crisis Information
If you or someone you know is at risk, or in urgent need of emotional support, there is information on a range of internal and external resources offering support and guidance.
