Personal Counselling is provided in order to allow students to make the most of their academic education by removing barriers to effective functioning. Short-term personal counselling is done on an individual basis and in a confidential setting. Counselling provides students with a chance to understand and change feelings, behaviour and situations that are problematic. Students come for many reasons including difficulties with a relationship, emotional difficulties, confusion about their identity and such distressing feelings as depression, eating disorders and anxiety.

The Service enables students who have difficulties with their studies to work through these problems. Students are helped in times of stress, especially before and during examination time and whilst writing their dissertations.

The Service also offers students the opportunity to work on personal issues in a group setting. This is being done through the organisation of therapy groups and workshops on specific issues like time management, relationships, procrastination, grief and bereavement.

Any university student is eligible to consult the Counselling Services which are provided free of charge.
