Counselling Service

Mental Health – Emotional Wellbeing

Our free, professional and confidential
counselling service is available to all students
College comes with more independence and therefore more
responsibility. Sometimes life in general can be difficult.
Need to talk? We are here for you.

first appointment

Counsellors are kind and non-judgmental so you can talk

openly and safely about anything that is troubling you
