How do I get an appointment?

If you're feeling overwhelmed in any way, please come and talk to the team.

Here are just some of the issues students have brought to us:

Homesickness
Feeling low
Anxiety
Stress
Relationship difficulties
Loneliness
Self esteem
Panic attacks
Mental health issues

It's good to talk - and sometimes you need to talk to an experienced counsellor or Mental Health Advisor.

Contact: counsellingandmentalhealthservice@abertay.ac.uk to arrange an appointment.

You will then be sent the easy to complete referral forms, after which you'll be instructed how to book an assessment appointment.

Appointments are available 9am-5pm weekdays, and up to 6pm on two evenings a week throughout the year.

The service includes a Mental Health Advisor (RNHM) who can work with you if you are experiencing or are concerned about any mental health issues.

The Counselling and Mental Health Service adheres to the BACP Code of Ethics and Practice.

Please note: in order to use the Counselling and Mental Health booking service, you must read and agree to the terms of our Counselling and Mental Health Service Privacy Notice.

You can also speak to the Student Enquiry Zone (SEZ) on Level 1 of the Library or email counsellingandmentalhealthservice@abertay.ac.uk (open Mon - Fri, 9am-5pm).

Abertay Online Students (Living Outside the UK)

Due to professional and regulatory requirements, we are unable to provide ongoing counselling and mental health support to students whose domicile and current residence are outside the UK.

We would be pleased to offer a one-off wellbeing consultation. During this appointment, we can discuss your current circumstances, explore available support options, and help identify appropriate services and resources in your local area or country of residence.
