Counselling

Glasgow Clyde College offers counselling services to all our students across our three campuses. Talking through your problems can help and it can be beneficial to speak to someone outwith your immediate group of family and friends. 

Counselling can help you deal with personal problems, such as a long-standing issue or and short-term crisis. These could include problems arising from a variety of issues such as:

  • trouble with family or friends
  • feelings resulting from an event such as bereavement or trauma
  • difficulties adjusting to life as a student/living away from home
  • addiction
  • stress
  • anxiety

You can approach your counsellor with any personal problem. However, your counsellor can also help you access the assistance of an outside specialist agency if you find that helpful.

The counselling service will not be able to assist with practical issues such as money, housing, childcare or benefits. If you require information and advice on any of these topics please contact our Student Advice Centres.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about in seeking help. Students of all ages, backgrounds, gender, full-time or part-time, can make use of the student counselling service.

As a guideline, each session will typically last for about 50 minutes. The frequency of your visit will depend on what you and your counsellor both feel is appropriate.
