Student Counselling
What is Counselling
Counselling gives you an opportunity to talk to someone unbiased who will help you explore any thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are causing you problems in your life.
Aims of student counselling
- To help you share a problem, or to examine a situation that is causing you to feel distressed, unhappy, anxious and/or “stuck”
- To enable you to reach a greater understanding of yourself and your situation by exploring the issues with a counsellor
- To help you work through problems to find a better resolution
Why talk to a counsellor?
Counsellors are different from friends and family
- they are outside your daily life
- they will not judge, criticise or make assumptions
- they are neutral
