The Counselling Service

The Service is open throughout the year, except when the university is closed at Christmas and Easter.

Making an appointment for counselling is quite easy.  There are three ways you can use to contact us:

Phone
 Clare: 01905 855417
Gwion: 01905 855105

E-mail
 counselling@worc.ac.uk

Visiting the counselling offices
Clare: WB77
Gwion: WB 78

If we are not available you can leave a note in the red post box provided.

Whatever means you chose to contact us, we will normally get back to you within 48 hours.  It is helpful if you are able to tell us when you are free of lecture/work commitments, so that we can try to offer you an appointment which avoids those times.

We normally try to offer an appointment within five working days, but at times of high demand you may have to wait longer.  We will tell you if this is the case, and give you an idea of the approximate waiting time.

In an emergency or a crisis situation, we are normally able to offer an appointment within 24 hours.

The Mental  Health Advisory Sevice is open throughout the year, except when the University is closed at Christmas and Easter,and during a part of summer when the Mental Health Advisor may be on leave.

If the Mental Health Advisor is not available you can leave a note under the door.

The Mental Health Advisor will normally get back to you within 48 hours.  She will try to offer an appointment within five working days, but at times of high demand you may have to wait longer.  You will be told if this is the case, and will be given an idea of the approximate waiting time, rarely more than 2/3 weeks.

In an emergency or a crisis situation, normally an appointment would be offered much earlier.
