Wellbeing Services
Wellbeing Services are here to help students get the most out of their time at University. Health and wellbeing are crucial ingredients of effective study as well as a rich and fulfilling student experience. But staying well in body and mind isn’t always easy at university. We recognise that it’s much more difficult to learn and enjoy student life when personal difficulties or emotional worries arise.
Sometimes we need a little help to get “back on track” when particular concerns begin to affect us, and our Wellbeing Team can offer a range of services to support students personally and in their studies when difficulties occur.
Our Team
Our Wellbeing team, made up of counsellors and mental health practitioners, are all highly skilled and experienced in recognising how psychological and mental health difficulties can affect your studies. They are able to offer you advice, therapeutic and practical support to help you cope personally and to manage your studies. All staff are specifically trained to be non-judgmental, reflective, and respectful of individual differences, and many students find that talking things over with someone outside of their personal and academic world is supportive. Working through your situation with an experienced helper offers a new perspective and renewed hope in how to resolve your concerns. The university intends to open a new Wellbeing Centre in the late summer of 2012 where there are plans to extend the range of services available to students as well as to develop, alongside others, a programme of activities and events that aim to improve health and wellbeing on campus.
The Wellbeing Services team are able to offer support packages tailored to your individual preference and need. If you wish to find out more about the help available, please contact wellbeing@exeter.ac.uk.
You are warmly invited to request an initial consultation (see how to access our services) and to meet with a member of the team who will listen and discuss your particular concerns and consider what support might be helpful. Any concerns, no matter how big or small, are imporatant to us.
