1. Counselling Service
Our Counselling Service is dedicated to providing you with quality counselling and emotional support through a range of different pathways.
We would like every student to have a positive learning experience, however sometimes this can be affected by issues and feelings that are difficult to resolve. These feelings often impact on other areas of your life and may affect your academic studies, your relationships with others, or your personal choices. This is when counselling can help. Counselling provides a safe and confidential space in which to explore your feelings or anything that that may be affecting your ability to function well. Often, therapeutic work has a lifelong legacy and can equip you with the necessary skills to navigate your way through future challenges.
