Wellbeing for students

The University of East London takes the health and wellbeing of students seriously and we have a range of resources available to support you. We have listed resources we have in place to support our students. We are here to support you no matter the issue. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you feel you could benefit from any one of these resources.

We understand that you want to gain as much from your time at university as possible, both academically and socially. The Student Wellbeing Service is here to help you achieve this at times when difficulties of an emotional or psychological nature interfere with your life both within and outside the University. This might involve practical advice and support or by accessing the various wellbeing interventions that the team can offer. Many students access mental health support, counselling or Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) through the service, as well as a wide range of self-help materials and workshops offered.

Counselling or CBT needs to be undertaken voluntarily, not because someone else thinks you should have it. There also needs to be a commitment made to attending the negotiated amount of sessions offered at a regular time and day during the week.

How do I know if I need an initial Drop-In appointment with the Student Wellbeing Service?

It is a difficult process to admit to yourself that you are finding some things in your life difficult to cope with. It is also equally difficult to admit that you are struggling with your attendance or academic progression due to any emotional or health related issues. We know that friends and family are often your main support network but when that is difficult then please come to talk to us. Please just book one of our Drop-In appointments to make initial contact.

How do I book any of these appointments?

By phoning the Hub: +44 (0) 20 8223 4444 or logging to My Portal, ensuring you have your login details (email and password) to hand.
By contacting the Student Wellbeing Service directly by email at wellbeing@uel.ac.uk
