Mental health

When you access our team you can expect to get meaningful and personalised advice, based on your individual needs, provided by compassionate and professional practitioners.

We can help you in lots of different ways depending on your personal situation and the help we give might include a one-to-one session, referrals to local specialist services, guidance in using online resources and individual learning support plans.

For students with more complex difficulties, we can work with you to plan and co-ordinate support within and outside of the university, including collaborating with academic departments and NHS services.

We don’t provide diagnosis or treatment for mental illness, for example medication, long term therapy or counselling, but we can help you to access this through local services. If you think this is something you’ll need please let us know before you join us and make sure you register with a local GP.

If you have a diagnosed mental health condition we would also recommend applying for Disabled students Allowance.

Our team work Monday to Friday 09:00-17:00. If you need emergency support please click here.
