Appointments

 

Please note that we are currently experiencing a very high demand for counselling services. Although we are still taking referrals there may be a wait before you can be seen. If you are available during the Easter vacation please do ensure you make this clear when completing the form as this may enable you to be seen more quickly. Please give as much information as possible on the form so that we have a good understanding of your needs.

How do I get help from counselling?

 

Get Help - Referral process

 

 

The first step...

 

Complete the self-referral form, see 'contact us' on the counselling homepage, it should only take around 5 minutes

 

Is there a demand for appointments?


Yes there is very high demand for appointments.   Although we are still taking referrals there may be a wait before you can be seen. We operate a waiting list if demand for help exceeds the supply of sessions available. If you have an urgent or other problem, please see here for sources of help.

 

What if I can't attend an appointment?

 

If you need to change or cancel your appointment please contact us at least 48 hours in advance, where you can, to let us know. This allows us to offer cancelled sessions (both assessment and ongoing 1-1 sessisons) to other students in need of an appointment.

If you do not turn up for an appointment, without letting us know, it will count as one of any allocated number of sessions.  If you do not turn up on two occasions without letting us know, we will assume you no longer wish to receive counselling and offer subsequent appointments to the next person on our waiting list.
