Online Counselling

 

Did you know that the Counselling Service offer online counselling (email, Skype, IM) for students?  If you are unable to access face to face counselling because you are away from Cardiff, studying or researching abroad or would find it difficult to come to us for health or practical reasons, then online counselling can provide you with support that is flexible and effective.

SPACE4U

SPACE4U is a daily drop in service - based at 50 Park Place ONLY - where you can see a counsellor for 10-15 minutes (between 3 & 3.45pm) to ask questions or borrow a book. It is not a psychological assessment or a therapeutic session.

Extenuating Circumstance Letters

Please note The Counselling Service do not routinely write extenuating circumstance letters unless you are currently receiving counselling from our service. Please discuss your requirements with your counsellor.  

Urgent Advice & General Information

For general information about counselling and where to obtain urgent advice, please read the Counselling Service Leaflet for students. There's information if you're Responding to a Crisis, and also for After a Crisis.

We are able to provide a British Sign Language (BSL) counsellor if required.

Bear in mind that some changes in psychological state may have underlying physiological causes, ranging from altered hormone levels to viral infections. To check this possibility, you can consult your G.P.

  • Tips

    Not all family holidays look perfect, and it may be reasonable to expect some problems during this time.
    It is normal to feel anxious and homesick, and maybe overwhelmed by new experiences.
    Procrastination makes easy things hard, and hard things harder. (Mason Cooley)
    Does your self-talk increase your anxiety?
    ‘I should’ = pressure
    ‘I will’ = encouragement
    Just because we think something, does not mean it is a fact.
    If you keep on doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep on getting what you’ve always got.
