Mental wellbeing at university
Moving away, changing routines, studying and forming friendships can feel exciting and difficult at once. International, commuter and mature students may face different challenges.
Common pressures
You may experience homesickness, isolation, perfectionism, exam worry or uncertainty about belonging. Difficulties deserve attention even when grades look fine.
How therapy may help
A therapist can help you explore stress, confidence, relationships and coping strategies. You can also contact your university wellbeing or disability support services.
Choosing appropriate help
For urgent risk or severe symptoms, contact emergency or NHS services. If you are under 18, check the therapist’s age range, consent and safeguarding arrangements before booking.

Many therapists offer different appointment times; check individual availability.
