Our Chaplains
Chaplains serve all in the University of Exeter community; staff/students of any faith background or none. They offer specialist faith advice, pastoral and spiritual support and run events from various different faith traditions and worldviews.
If you're ever feeling stressed, down or simply want to have an informal chat with our Chaplains about anything, feel welcome to book a Time to Talk appointment or reach out to a Chaplain directly using the contact details below.
Time to Talk
This is our appointment service that books a timeslot for you to speak with one of our Chaplains, either in person or online. We have a bookable appointments Monday to Thursday in term time. In person appointments are held in the Meeting Room at The Sarah Turvill Multifaith Centre on Streatham Campus (across from the Forum Kitchen).

Book Time to Talk
Weekly slots:
Our Time to Talk service is currently on pause for the summer break. This will resume with the start of term in September 2026
We provide a safe space to talk, and offer you a confidential and non-judgmental listening ear. We are here to support you, to be available for you to share any concerns, to support wellbeing, and to provide a place where everyone can feel at home. We seek to create a community space on campus to relax, de-stress and simply 'be'.
We all have values that guide and shape our lives. We find and create meaning in different ways that allow us to develop our deeper identities. This might be through nature, religious and spiritual practices, or through connection with others and the world. Chaplains can help you explore your own sense of values, purpose and meaning, or support you in times of spiritual or existential difficulty.
