We therefore offer students the chance to take part in a variety of sporting activities at all our centres. The sports facilities at the university are provided jointly by the university and Student Union. The counselling service aims to provide support in times of personal difficulty. Counselling can offer ways of coping more effectively, and perhaps turn a problem into a learning opportunity. Counselling is totally confidential.
Students come to counselling for all kinds of reasons.
They may be struggling with work, having problems wih a relationship, coping with a crisis, or generally confused, anxious or depressed. Sometimes the reason may not be all that clear at first. There are several trained and experienced counsellors at the university to deal with these situations. The service is free and everyone is welcome. As you would expect in an institution that places a high priority on designing programmes that prepare students for the world of work, De Montfort University runs a comprehensive careers service.
