Emotional and mental health support
If something is affecting your emotional or mental health and you would like support, there are several options listed below.
If you study on our Cornwall campuses please read about your options for emotional and mental health support here.
Your options
- Urgent or emergency situation: if you feel unsafe and/or feel you need help right now, read our urgent support options.
- Speak to a wellbeing specialist at the University: book a 20-minute session with a Wellbeing Practitioner.
- Speak to your Education Welfare Team: if your emotional or mental health issue is affecting your ability to study or studying is creating a health problem for you, please speak to your Education Welfare Team.
- Speak to your doctor
- Refer yourself to an NHS talking therapy service
- Take a look at our self-help resources: self-help can be effective if you are suffering from mild stress, anxiety, are feeling low or finding procrastination is affecting your studies. Read more on our taking care of your wellbeing page.
Drop-in sessions
To arrange an online or in person drop-in, please:
- Complete our short Wellbeing drop-in form to help the practitioner prepare for your appointment.
- Once you have completed the form, please check your university email for a link to book your online or in person appointment, via SID online.
Online appointments will be offered via Teams video call unless you’ve said you prefer a phone call. You can choose to have your camera off if you would prefer.
In-person appointments are on Streatham Campus at either:
- Reed Mews Wellbeing Centre
- Wellbeing at Mardon Hill
- Reed Hall Hailey Wing
Check the location when booking your appointment and go to the relevant building's wellbeing reception 5 minutes before your drop-in start time. See the Streatham campus map for directions to your appointment.
Our drop-in appointments take place Monday - Friday 9:00-16:00, and are released up to 7 days in advance. We aim to offer an appointment within 3 working days of your request but please be aware that, at busy times or where this doesn't fit with your timetable, we cannot guarantee this. There is always 24/7 support available via Togetherall which you can access online with your university email address.
If you have any concerns about completing the form or want to discuss booking an appointment, please contact Wellbeing Services on 01392 724381 or email wellbeing@exeter.ac.uk and one of our team will be able to help you.
If you are concerned about your immediate safety or experiencing a mental health crisis, our Urgent Support pages will help you access the right support for your circumstances.
