Counselling Service

The Student Counselling Service is a confidential service for anyone experiencing emotional difficulties or distress. It is available for all students and staff attending St Mary’s University College.

We are located on the first floor of E Block, in Room E147, in the Student Services Department. Appointments are between the hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, with the exception of University College closures for public holidays. The service is available throughout the year, including the summer (although the service is reduced).

Counsellors are professionally trained and accredited with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). They are required to have previous experience of working in a mental health setting and also in education. The BACP website provides details of the accreditation process.

The e-portal counselling pages feature additional information, including local and emergency counselling services and useful links.
