An introduction to our service
What we can help with
You can talk to us about any challenges you are facing. Whatever you are experiencing, we will listen and provide support and guidance. We will help you decide on your next steps. Some areas we can help with are:
- Relationships with others, including housemates
- Bullying, harassment and hate crime
- Managing worry and low mood
- Confidence and motivation
- Loss of a loved one
- Homesickness and isolation.
No matter what the problem, we are here to help.
How we can help you
We offer 2 types of online and phone support: wellbeing chats and welfare appointments.
Chats and appointments can be booked from Monday to Friday, between 9:00am and 5:00pm.
Wellbeing chats are designed to support you with your mental wellbeing. You will work with a Wellbeing Practitioner to discuss your concerns and explore solutions together.
Welfare appointments are designed to provide support with any life challenges such as disagreements with housemates, pregnancy or personal safety. You will work with a Welfare Adviser to explore different solutions.
