Meet the Centre for Wellbeing team

Our counsellors

Our counsellors are professionally qualified, skilled and experienced in supporting university students. We work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, low mood, trauma, bereavement, life transitions, financial pressures, relationship difficulties and behaviours that may affect wellbeing or safety.

We offer a confidential, supportive, compassionate and non-judgemental space for every student. Our counsellors are experienced in working respectfully and effectively with people from diverse backgrounds, including students of all races, ethnicities, cultures, faiths and beliefs, sexual orientations, gender identities, abilities, disabilities, neurotypes, socioeconomic circumstances and lifestyles.

All members of our team can help you with any of the issues you want to talk about.  

We also have volunteer counsellors who are either in training or recently qualified, carefully chosen for their suitability and experience, and who are closely supervised by our core team.

Student Mental Health

Our mental health practitioners are a specialist team of social workers, mental health nurses and an eating disorder therapist. They offer students support and guidance to students with complex or enduring mental health conditions including:

• mood disorders
• psychosis
• personality disorders
• eating disorders.

The mental health practitioner team can offer advice and guidance on managing student life with a mental health condition and support co-ordination and liaison with academic departments and external health teams.
