The Services we Provide

The counselling service provides free time limited counselling to all students and staff members during their time at Goldsmiths University. The aim of the service is to help students and staff whose concerns may be impeding their personal and/or academic/work development.

Such concerns may include relationship problems, procrastination, concentration, perfectionism, fear of public speaking, loneliness, depression, anxiety, sexuality and bereavement.

There is no list of acceptable issues to bring to counselling. People come to counselling for a wide variety of reasons at different stages of experiencing difficulties. Some clients are not even sure why they are coming, they just have a sense that they need to explore something.

Staff members and students are offered counselling in different parts of the building in attempt to preserve confidentiality regarding attendance.

How Confidential is it?

The counselling service is a confidential service. Counsellors do not communicate with tutors or other members of staff without expressed consent of the client.  The only exception would be if the counsellor considered the client posed a serious danger to him/herself or others, in such cases your counsellor would usually inform you that they needed to breach the confidentiality contract.
