Accessing mental health support

If you feel that you need support for your mental health, you should book an appointment with your GP, or with a Wellbeing adviser. They can provide you with a referral to a support service if it is right for you.

You cannot book an appointment directly with the Student Counselling or Mental Health Advisory Service, you must get a referral first.

Student Counselling Service

The Student Counselling Service offers short-term individual counselling with experienced counsellors.

They also offer therapeutic groups where you can discuss your issues with peers, led by a trained counsellor. These include:

• bereavement group
• cognitive behavioural group
• Mandarin speaking group
• postgrad support
• trans group
• women's group.

Mental Health Advisory Service

The Mental Health Advisory Service works with students who have been referred with complex mental health difficulties.

If you are referred, a mental health advisor will create a care plan for you which will focus on your strengths and help you find the right support at University and in the wider community.
