Counselling for University Students in York

​

Whether you are a new student or returning to your studies, university

can bring excitement and new opportunities, but it can also be a time

of pressure, uncertainty and change. If you feel that some counselling

support might be helpful, you are very welcome to get in touch.

​

Experienced university counsellor ​

Alongside my private practice, I work as a university counsellor in the

University of York’s Open Door mental health team. I have extensive

experience supporting students with academic pressure, anxiety,

burnout, identity and the many challenges and transitions that can

come with university life. I bring this knowledge and understanding

to my work with students in private practice.

​

I offer weekly or fortnightly counselling for difficulties including anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, relationship difficulties and loss. I work with students at all levels of study, from foundation year and first-year undergraduate to final-year PhD, and can offer longer breaks during university holidays or Zoom sessions when needed.

​

I also support many autistic and LGBTQ+ students, offering a space where you can explore your experiences openly and without judgement.

​

Counselling provides a space to talk about whatever feels important to you, including thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to share elsewhere. ​Counselling can help you to:

​

• understand difficult feelings and experiences

• manage anxiety, stress and feeling overwhelmed

• feel more confident in yourself and your decisions

• understand yourself and your relationships more clearly

• cope with academic pressure, exams and uncertainty about the future

• find ways to manage the demands of university life that work for you

​​​

You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to counselling. You may not know exactly what's wrong, but have a sense that something isn't right and want to explore it.
