Please be aware that the mental health team are currently experiencing high demand. There may be a longer than average wait for an appointment.
Please call your GP, or First Response on 0800 923 9323, if you need more immediate support. You can also visit the mental health support drop in for a chat with a Mental Health Advisor. 

Completing the form

The online Student Wellbeing Services form is in two parts: 
  • The first section will ask for important demographic information.
  • The second section will ask for more personal details about why you are reaching out to us.
We intend the Student Wellbeing Services form to help you think about different aspects of your situation and needs in preparation for your appointment.
Don’t be put off if questions seem a bit daunting on first sight; they help us make sure you get the best service as quickly as possible. You do not need to give long answers. You can also state “I would prefer to talk about this in person”. So find a quiet space, and give yourself the time to go through it.
The form is confidential and will only be seen by Student Services staff.
Struggling to complete the form?
Ask a member of staff or trusted friend to help you with this or call in to the Student Hub for help.
 

What happens after you submit your form?

Your form submission will be triaged the next working day by one of our Student Wellbeing Services team.
The experienced team will look at the information you have given and make a decision on what appointment and/or support might help you best at this moment in time.
We will send you an email telling you what happens next.
