Why is there Counselling at Glyndŵr University? Life at Glyndŵr University can be exciting and hopeful, however there may be difficult times and issues may arise for which you need the support of a counsellor. There may be moments when you would like the support of another person to talk to. What is Counselling? Counselling offers the opportunity to think and talk in confidence about problems that concern you and are impacting on your life. This is offered through dialogue with a trained counsellor. How will it help? Many experiences in life will have an impact upon our emotions and ability to cope. A counsellor can support you by enabling you to talk about your life and reach your own understanding of your experiences. Counselling can enable you to access other support networks and helping agencies. Self help materials and literature can also be accessed if required. Is it for me? Many people worry that their difficulties are not important enough to see a counsellor about. Sometimes people need the space to talk through issues and try and find ways to manage them. If any issue is worrying you or causing you distress, then it is important. What can I expect? Counselling appointments will last for 50 minutes. The session will take place in a designated quiet room, which is free from interruption. There is an appointment system to ensure that you are seen as soon as possible and at times that are convenient for you. An initial session will enable you to talk about your particular issues and discuss whether further sessions would be helpful. It will also enable you to ask any questions about the nature of counselling and any concerns you may have. The counselling relationship is collaborative, you may choose to have a single session, or a session every so often, or a series of regular sessions either weekly or fortnightly. Generally the Counsellor will offer up to 6 sessions. Counselling is confidential The counselling service is run in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. In effect this means that the counsellors do not communicate with a third party about a person who is receiving counselling, except in very exceptional circumstances. These exceptions are outlined in the Confidentiality document which you will receive in the initial session. Sometimes the person receiving counselling may request that the counsellor communicates with a third party (e.g. a tutor or doctor) and this will be done only with the written consent of the person. How do I make an appointment? Call at Student Services 3rd Floor, Library or Tel: 01978 293266 Email: counselling@glyndwr.ac.uk Note: Counselling appointments are offered between 9.00am and 4.00pm. We cannot always see students straight away, and do not provide an emergency service, however we will try to see you for an assessment appointment if you feel your needs are urgent. In circumstances where there are no appointments available, students will need to leave their details so that someone can contact them as soon as an appointment is available. In cases of emergency students need to access support via their own GP or Accident and Emergency at the Wrexham Maelor Hospital. Where are the counselling rooms? Counselling and Wellbeing can be found within Student Services, where there are designated confidential rooms. The Student Services Support Suite is located on the top floor of the Edward Llwyd (library) Centre in the Student Services area.
