Common Problems

People come to the Counselling Service with a wide range of personal or work-related issues which are causing them concern or emotional distress. 

Sometimes they are worried that their problem is not serious enough to bring to counselling.  In fact, we do not compare the problems people bring.  The most significant thing to us is that what you are bringing is important to you and is preventing you from becoming fully involved in your life at University.

To give you examples of the issues people bring to counselling, some of the more common problems are listed below:

Depression 

Stress/Anxiety 

Relationships 

Family difficulties 

Lack of confidence 

Sexuality

Eating disorders 

Bereavement/loss 

Homesickness/loneliness 

Struggling academically 

Procrastination

Loss of life direction

Sexual assault

Childhood abuse

Bullying

Alcohol/drug abuse/addiction

Self-harm

Culture shock

Domestic violence

Work grievances and many more.....

We have leaflets on a number of these issues available at the Counselling Service Contact
