Counselling
Alternative and 24 hour Counselling Contacts
Students who require urgent counselling, whether by telephone or in person, are requested to state this to the receptionist and appropriate assistance will be arranged.
Although the demand for the Counselling Service is considerable, every effort is made to provide assistance to students as soon as possible. In the event that you need to speak with a Counsellor urgently and the University Counsellors are unavailable, or for after hours help, please use the following contact numbers. Alternatively, please contact your doctor, hospital or your local community health service.
