Student Wellbeing (Counselling Service)

Do you suffer from emotional distress? Feel incapable of socializing? Feel lost? Struggle to get it together?

For many students, university can be a challenging time. With assignments, deadlines, exams, social and work life to balance, there are many things that can keep the mind busy. Having a number of different things that worry and stress you can have an effect on other areas of our lives such as studies or relationships.
