Counselling & Mental Health

Welcome to the Counselling & Mental Health Service

We are a multi-disciplinary team of skilled and experienced counsellors and mental health advisors who understand how mental health issues can affect your studies, work, and life.

We provide free and confidential counselling, mental health advice, a 24 hour helpline, self-help resources, and workshops for student and staff of the University of Bradford. We also provide counselling for students of Bradford College.

We work in partnership with the local NHS MyWellbeing IAPT Service that provides a range of online support options for students and staff of the University.

Our counselling service is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

If you are in a crisis situation, please visit our Help in a Crisis page.
