Counselling Service - University of Abertay

Counselling is an opportunity to discuss issues that are concerning or distressing you in a safe and confidential environment. It is an active process which gives you the time and encouragement to explore your concerns more fully.

This can help you to see your problem from a different perspective, and to increase your awareness of yourself, your situation and the choices open to you. Counselling is not advice, but it is about working with you to find the best ways of understanding and resolving the issues which have been troubling you.

Coming to see a counsellor can sometimes seem like a big step to take, but there are times when all of us may need the support of someone else for things we are struggling with, and it is a sign of strength to recognise this.
