Support for Students and Apprentices

School, sixth form, college and apprenticeships can all bring pressure. Support can focus on balancing study, friendships, family life and work, whether or not you attend university.

When the learning setting matters

An apprentice may be dealing with workplace expectations and exams at the same time. A sixth-form student might need school involvement or an appointment that feels private at home. Support should fit the learner's age and setting.

What sessions might explore

Depending on your situation, sessions may explore study-life balance, belonging, uncertainty and help-seeking.

Choosing support

Ask about experience with your learning setting and whether practical adjustments or educational support should be explored separately. Use school, college or university support services alongside therapy where appropriate.

You can also explore university and exam stress.

Frequently asked questions

What concerns can students bring to a session?

It depends on your goals. Sessions may explore study-life balance, belonging, uncertainty and help-seeking; a practitioner should explain their approach and agree priorities with you.

When might student support be helpful?

Consider support if academic, social or work pressures are affecting wellbeing. School or college support can be a useful starting point.

Can a student use online counselling?

Check the practitioner's age range first. A student needs safe privacy for an online session, and an under-18 may need different consent and safeguarding arrangements.

Can an under-18 student book any therapist?

Check before booking. Ask whether the practitioner works with your age group, how consent and confidentiality work and how they handle safeguarding. Your school or college may also have a pastoral or safeguarding lead.

How do I choose a therapist for student support?

Ask about experience with your learning setting and whether practical adjustments or educational support should be explored separately.

What if counselling is not enough?

Use school, college or university support services alongside therapy where appropriate. You can ask a therapist about referrals and support that may be more appropriate.

What should I do if I need urgent help?

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999. In England, contact NHS 111 and select the mental health option for urgent mental health help. Veyro is not an emergency service.
