Counselling and Mental Health Team

Student Counselling ServiceThe Student Counselling Service is committed to supporting students experiencing emotional or psychological problems, so that they can gain maximum benefit from their university experience and develop their potential to the full. People come to counselling to talk about whatever is of concern to them in their lives, and which may be preventing them from being how they want to be.

The Service is staffed by professionally trained and experienced counsellors who are experienced in helping people from many backgrounds and cultures, and with a wide range of personal and life issues. At present there are two counsellors: Elizabeth Hewitt and Clare Nield. They can be contacted by phone 01905 5107/5417 or e-mail: e.hewitt@worc.ac.uk or c.nield@worc.ac.uk

Counselling is free to students, and, in normal circumstances, anything that is said in counselling is confidential. It is very rare that we consider breaking confidentiality, but further information about confidentiality is given when you make an appointment and at the start of your first session,

The Student Counselling Service adheres to the standards and ethics of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as laid out in their Ethical Framework for Good Practice.
