The Service wants to help students feel better about their lives both in and outside the University. Students come with a broad range of difficulties including exam anxiety depression suicidal feelings stress past traumas troubling bereavements sexuality and gender concerns family problems feeling a need to make important changes in their lives. Personal worries, such as the above examples, can have a direct effect upon study and academic work. It is our aim to offer you help to work through these concerns so that you can complete your University studies more successfully. The Counselling Service can also provide an opportunity for people experiencing shared concerns to work together as a group.
Some people find the support of others in the same situation very helpful.
