Counselling

Counselling provides a safe, confidential space where students can explore any difficulties that are having an emotional impact on them.

These difficulties can include anxiety, low mood and depression, stress, loneliness, relationship difficulties, loss of confidence, family struggles, sexuality and sexual orientation, abuse, academic problems, identity issues, self-harming, trauma and eating disorders.

Counselling aims to listen, support and validate students in order to find ways to understand and manage their difficulties better. Counselling focuses on increasing self-awareness and working towards change.
