Problems may involve issues of sexuality, loss, grief, life transitions, relationships, course choice or change, exam panic. Whatever you want to talk about is held in confidence by the counsellor. The service is free of charge. If at any time an outside agency or support beyond the College or university is needed, then links are normally only made with your agreement. The counsellor's room is on the Student Services Corridor.
Counselling is offered on an hourly basis, mainly by appoinment.
The counsellor or the secretary to the department can make an initial appointment for you. If further counselling is chosen by you, this is worked out between you and the counsellor. If you feel you would like to know more about counselling before making a decision, you can always come along and ask about the service, and what is involved. Student Services is open daily, Mondays to Thursdays from 8.30am to 5.00pm and Fridays from 8.30am until 4.30pm. The telephone number is 01472 311202.
