Student Mental Health & Wellbeing offers support and advice around mental wellbeing and emotional issues.

If you feel like you’re having a tough time, you don’t know where to turn or who to talk to, or if you’re concerned about the university knowing you’re finding it difficult to cope, why not book for an informal chat?

The service is free and confidential and there are a range of appointment days and times available.
