wellbeing support

The College's Student Services and Wellbeing teams create a happy and healthy environment for students and staff to study, learn and work. Student Services is the hub for all support, advice and guidance services whether you want personal and emotional support, or help applying for university, finding accommodation or funding.

A dedicated team supporting students

Mental health: We have full-time qualified advisers dedicated to offering students and staff advice and support on mental health issues. Appointments can be made through student services or by contacting the mental health advisers directly.

Counselling support: Some students, whilst studying, may experience emotional and personal issues that need to be shared with a qualified counsellor. We offer a professional counselling service for students to help you explore situations causing concern.

Personal support: If there are any issues that you need advice on or support with, such as anxiety, relationships or drugs and alcohol, you can see a personal adviser trained in welfare support. They can also advise on benefits and other matters.

Local and National Support Services

The College's Student Services Team has put together a helpful list of national services that are available to support students and their families.

The Children's Commissioner has launched a parent and carer guide 'The things I wish my parents had known...' which draws together advice from 16-21-year-olds on how parents should manage tricky conversations around sexual harassment and access to inappropriate content, including pornography.

We are passionate about offering a whole range of activities that will slot perfectly into students’ timetables and ultimately help them achieve their academic and personal goals.

I am encouraging staff and students to take a look at the HWS timetable and see where they can switch up the weekly routine. We have everything from a stress releasing boxing or fitness session, to a ‘knit and natter’ or a quick mindfulness meditation during a coffee break. There should be something for everyone!
