Feeling Overwhelmed?

Feeling overwhelmed?

We receive many enquiries from students in heightened states of anxiety, who have already been referred for counselling and then told to sit on a waiting list for anything up to 3 months.

There is NO NEED to have to wait that long. There should be a service in most areas that they can self-refer to, with a much shorter waiting time -

Whether these are NHS, charity or private this is a useful website for finding self-referral services by postcode https://www.nhs.uk/service-search

Direct self-referral contacts in our most local areas are given below:
