Self Help
We encourage all students to explore ways to work towards your own mental and emotional health and wellbeing. Sometimes, this is all the support you need; at other times it complements individual therapy sessions.
What Works
'What works' is simply a list of evidence-based activities proven to enhance mood.
Togetherall
Whether you're struggling to cope, feeling low or just need a place to talk, Togetherall can help you explore your feelings in a safe supportive environment.
Apps, Podcasts, TED Talks and Relaxation Recordings
There are a number of apps and services where you can listen to guided meditations, or short videos that may help to support your mental health.
Self Help Resource List
When you attend for an assessment appointment your counsellor may recommend some resources to assist you with the issue(s) you wish to work on.
Support groups
Attend a support group in person, or register for an online forum.
Online Courses and Workbooks
Watch online courses, download interactive workbooks, or take control by using recommended apps.
Guides, Booklets and E-Books
