Student Counselling in Central Durham
The Pressures of Student Life
Are you a student at Durham University?
Are you feeling the weight of academic pressures and the challenges of university life?
Navigating the student experience isn’t always smooth sailing. University life presents with it a unique set of challenges.
You might be going through a roller coaster of emotions that are difficult to cope with. While there may be moments of excitement, you might find yourself grappling with feelings of stress, anxiety, inadequacy, or numbness.
As a student, you might be experiencing:
Heavy workloads;
Anxiety to do well;
Stress;
Social pressures/difficulties;
Moreover, you might be dealing with non-student-related issues, from past difficulties to problems back home, adding to the complexity of what you’re trying to manage.
Being a student often means there’s an awful lot to be trying to cope with!
About Student Therapy
If you’re finding the student journey overwhelming, you may want to consider accessing counselling. Student therapy aims to:
Help you make sense of your experiences;
Provide support through the challenges and stresses of university life;
Develop coping strategies;
Enable you to make the most of your time at University.
I have experience working with students in private therapy practice and at Durham University. This has given me insights into the unique aspects of the collegiate system at Durham and the common issues students often face.
