Glasgow University Student Counselling and Advisory Service

You’re rarely here under good circumstances, so it’s hard to review while maintaining an objective viewpoint.
What I can say about the counselling service at Glasgow University is that it is an invaluable source of support that should be utilised when necessary by university students. It goes without saying that you receive anonymity here, and the team of staff are highly sympathetic while remaining absolutely professional.
I attended counselling for 6 months during a tough time, and I can honestly say that my wonderful counseller and the way I was cared for here helped me on my way to passing university. I started the year off in a bit of a state, and finished it with A grades. I couldn’t have done that without this support network.
You are never waiting excessively long for a counsellor to begin their sessions with you, you can pick and choose how long you feel like you need counselling, and there are a number of counsellors qualified in various areas to help you with bereavement, or general university stresses.
Moreover, this is a fantastic information network if you are ever uncertain about the best accomodation and ways to get funding whilst at university.
If you ever need to use this service they will do everything in their power to help you get back on track.
