Mental health doesn't have to be a crisis, from exam stress to big life challenges, we're here to support you with our impartial and confidential counselling service for all students.
Whatever problem you may be facing, our team of trained counsellors are here to help.
The college Counselling Service provides impartial and confidential support to all students. The counselling team is here to support you and your emotional wellbeing and is part of the wider Student Services Directorate. In addition to support available from the college counsellors, students are also able to access support from Mental Health Practitioners, and the support students receive is based on each student's individual needs and the issues they wish to discuss.
You can choose to have a face-to-face appointment or a virtual appointment either by email, telephone or a team's video call.
You can self-refer to the service by emailing counselling@educationpartnershipne.ac.uk or if you prefer, a member of staff can do it on your behalf with your consent.
