Student Support
Our Student Services team provides support to students who want to raise issues that might be affecting their experience at college or their life outside.
You may have personal concerns such as drugs and alcohol, general and sexual health, mental health concerns, problems at home, or housing and benefit problems. Or it could be that you are simply finding it hard to fit in or worried about keeping on top of your work.
Our friendly and caring Student Services team are happy to help with any query or problem. The service provided by the team is matrix accredited.
Student Services support includes:
- Careers and Employability - supporting you with becoming career-ready: CV writing, interview skills and advice and guidance
- Counselling - this one-to-one support is available for students to book. See below for further details.

- Inclusive Learning Support - extra classroom support is available for those who need it
- Safeguarding - ensuring that every student is safe during their time at college.
Counselling
Our counselling sessions offer a confidential and non-judgemental space for our students to talk through their feelings and experiences on a 1:1 basis.
Sometimes it’s difficult to talk to parents, friends or tutors about things that are making us anxious or upset. A counsellor is someone who you can talk to in a different way, someone who will listen to you very carefully, who will not judge you or tell you what to do.
Student counselling is available by student or staff referral only.
Students can access counselling by visiting student services in G32, speaking with a member of teaching staff, or via the online form on the student portal.
