Mental Health & Wellbeing appointments

Our Early Intervention Counselling Team supports students with their mental health or wellbeing.

Email the Disability & Wellbeing Service for a referral. We'll ask you to complete a short referral form. This will allow us to arrange an appropriate appointment for you. If you consider yourself to be at risk or need medical treatment, urgently contact your GP.

If you need help now, please contact your GP.

Your GP can provide further assessment of your symptoms. They can discuss treatment options and refer you to Specialist Services. If your GP is closed, their answerphone will direct you to the appropriate support service. Or you can call NHS 24 on 111.

Disability Support appointments

If you're receiving support from the Disability & Wellbeing Service, contact us to request an appointment. We operate on a waiting list basis and our appointments are often booked in advance. Please provide your availability when requesting an appointment via e-mail.

For students who disclosed a disability at the application stage, we'll contact you before your course starts. We'll invite you to complete our referral questionnaire to allow us to engage with you. One of our advisers will begin identifying the most appropriate support requirements.

If you have not used our services and would like to make a disability referral, complete our request for a disability referral form. We'll then send you our disability referral email. This includes our referral questionnaire and evidence upload link.
