Making the journey through higher education can be very demanding. There are the academic pressures – including the need to organise, prioritise and keep to deadlines.  Then there are the personal pressures too, for example relationship difficulties, family problems, finances to juggle, transitions to make in terms of your social life and the new experiences you encounter. 

The university recognises that things can often be far from easy.  Many decisions can be reached and many problems clarified and resolved through discussion with friends, family or academic staff. There are times, however, when seeking more objective, professional help away from the familiar daily environment can be particularly beneficial.  By supporting you personally through counselling, we can also support you academically and professionally.

A whole range of students accessed our service last year.  92% of students who completed evaluation questionnaires at the end of counselling reported feeling that the sessions had really helped them understand and deal with their issues.
