The Counselling Team
The Counselling team offer both individual counselling and group sessions.Individual counselling is a meeting between two people whereby time and space is used to help explore, clarify and understand personal difficulties in a non-judgmental setting. Talking in this way to an independent person, who is not there to judge or advise, offers space to reflect, enables emotional development, raises awareness of patterns of behaviour and helps with decision making and finding solutions.
An initial assessment session offers the chance to gain a sense of what counselling is and whether time limited individual or group counselling would be most appropriate to meet your needs. A contract to meet regularly with your counsellor or attend group sessions can then be made.
If you need further support once your counselling sessions come to an end, we can assist you in identifying appropriate services.
You don't have to be in crisis to use the Counselling Service. Students come to the service to explore a wide range of different issues.
