Wellbeing
We incorporate counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, mental health support and psychoeducational workshops into our support.
We offer specialist wellbeing support for any student experiencing significant or enduring difficulties. We know that every student has individual needs, so we offer a flexible programme. Download our wellbeing leaflets for more information.
We regularly liaise with external services (such as local NHS hospitals and community teams) to ensure students are able to access appropriate choices, and liaise so that impact on studies is minimised.
Our service provides a supportive pathway with a stepped care model; this means that you can access help quickly and get the most effective style for your needs.
Email us at counsellor.ic@uhi.ac.uk to register or ask any questions. You can complete our registration form for 22.23 online or if you email us we can send you an accessible version. You can also complete papercopies on campus via the bothy or the student services centre.
We also offer something called One at a Time Therapy (OaaT); the model is designed so that students can fill out one simple form and be seen by a team member. One at a Time Therapy is designed to addresss students presenting concerns within one session. This appointment is usually sufficient for many students.
This is also the entry-point to our other services.
Should a student present with more complex needs. We offer longer-term person centred counselling over a few weeks or months, should this be appropriate.
- Please be aware the Service is not an emergency service. Go here in the event of an emergency.
