Appointments
During term time you don't need an appointment to see a counsellor for the first time.
We run a
Drop-In service every weekday, Monday - Friday, from 2:15 to 4:15, which provides
a one-to-one, support and advice meeting with a counselor,
so you can just call in any weekday afternoon that you are free. The drop in is run on a first-come, first-served basis, so at busy times you may need to wait, but generally you will be seen on the same day. The drop in session lasts for approximately 30 minutes.
If you wish to meet with a counsellor out of term time, please contact Student Counselling by phone or email and an emergency appointment will be arranged for you.
During this initial meeting, the counsellor will work with you to find out your needs, and if you would benefit the most from counselling, we will arrange on-going appointments for you. During very busy times there may be a delay while you wait for your appointment, but we will arrange an appointment as soon as possible. If we have sufficient demand during busy periods, you may be offered the possibility of joining a group, or offered a once-off appointment.
