Counselling is a free service for all current full-time students. The counseling session is by a professionally trained and qualified Counsellor. Your attendance and any information you provide is kept confidential and will not be disclosed without your permission.
The Counselling Service provides:
· somewhere to talk about problems ranging from everyday hassles to those that are seriously affecting your ability to function
· a safe place to let off steam
· an opportunity to generate solutions to your problems
· somebody who will listen to you
Counselling is not about:
· telling you what to do
· making moral judgements
· putting you in a scary or formal situation
· performing miracles
· providing quick fixes
If you are not sure that you may need counselling, consider whether you have been experiencing:
· thoughts of pulling out of University
· a sense that something is wrong
· physical signs of emotional stress
· sleep problems
· concentration problems
· feelings that are new or that worry you
· thoughts about harming yourself
Talking with someone who is not so close to the problem situation may help you to:
· see it more clearly
· understand your feelings about it, and
· discover solutions.
The Counsellor will help by listening without judgement, offering new perspectives, and working with you on strategies that are right for you.

- adjustment issues
