Counselling

SODIT provide free 1:1 counselling with both qualified counsellors and students.  The use an integrated therapy approach.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible for 1:1 therapy to be immediately available due to the small size of the charity.  They therefore offer “therapeutic holding” which can offer a valuable space for you to talk about how you are and how your mental health is whilst you await a counsellor. It is not therapy but it can be therapeutic to “clear your head” and to express your thoughts and feelings to someone who is listening without judgement.
