Your Wellbeing

Support if you are experiencing difficulties or distress.

We take the wellbeing and mental health of our students seriously. Help is available if you’re having a crisis, are in distress, or simply need someone to talk to.

Credit Students

If you are studying for credit, and therefore a fully matriculated student, you can access the University’s dedicated counselling and advice services:

• Your Personal Tutor (usually your first port of call for advice)
• The University's Student Counselling Service (free service, by appointment only)
• The Advice Place (based near George Square, with drop in service for confidential and impartial advice on all matters)
• University Chaplaincy (all welcome, regardless of faith)
• University Health Service (GP and specialist clinics)

Non-Credit Students

If you are not studying for credit, and therefore not a matriculated student, we encourage you to use these external services:

• Breathing Space
• Edinburgh Crisis Centre
• Edinburgh Nightline
• NHS Moodjuice
• ED Space
• Counselling Directory
• The Samaritans
