Health & Wellbeing Centre
The University of Edinburgh has created a dedicated health and wellbeing centre for students.
The fully accessible Centre is based at 7 Bristo Square and is open Monday to Friday.
It houses the main bases for Student Counselling and the Disability and Learning Support Services, the Equally Safe team, and the University Health Centre and independent Pharmacy.
Student Counselling and Disability & Learning Support Services offer in person appointments at other areas around the University. Please discuss with staff where would suit you best to meet.
Students can come to the building for same day counselling appointments, and regular scheduled appointments as well as accessing the Wellbeing Lounge.

Wellbeing Lounge
The Wellbeing Lounge is open!
The main function of the Wellbeing Lounge is to provide a quiet, composed and relaxing space at the heart of the central area where people can take time out of their busy schedules. Over time, there will be opportunities for the space to be booked out for events which promote mental health and wellbeing. We hope you enjoy taking some time out in the lounge.
We expect all users of the Wellbeing Lounge to treat this quiet space with respect as it is in the heart of the Health & Wellbeing Centre, a working building designed to support students.
If you are using the space, please tidy up after yourself, recycle and keep noise to a minimum. Thank you!
