Counsellors
Students sometimes encounter personal difficulties that can affect their studies and their ability to cope with University life. These difficulties can be either social or personal, including problems with mood or anxiety, relationship difficulties, family issues, bereavement or just adjusting to University life. Our team of counsellors offer a listening ear and help to address the difficulties students experience. Counsellors are professionals trained in a variety of caring professions, including social work, medicine, psychology and counselling. They work to help users of the service see their situation more clearly, make decisions that are right for themselves, and develop constructive ways of coping. They are part of Student Services, and can be accessed through their office in the Students’ Association. The counsellors meet with students on a one-to-one basis during office hours and it is easy to make an appointment by emailing, telephoning or calling in to our offices.
