Waiting Time for Student Counselling
Waiting times for counselling vary greatly depending on your availability. It will help if you can be flexible about when you are seen. Those who wait longest tend to be people with a restricted availability or who are requesting evening appointments.
Once an appointment is offered, if you make it a priority this will enable us to see you faster, as rescheduling appointments is not straightforward and can cause significant delays.
Current Waiting Time for Student Counselling
The waiting time is currently 2-5 weeks depending on your availability. This means that we may not be able to offer you an appointment before Michaelmas term ends.
If you are available during the Christmas vacation period, we will continue to offer appointments throughout, except between 24th December and 1st January inclusive when the Counselling Service will be closed.
If you are not available during the Christmas vacation period, we will contact you in Lent term as soon as a suitable appointment becomes available.
Please note that waiting times will be longer if the availability you provide is limited.
