Wellbeing

Being at university can be an exciting and happy time, but it can also be stressful and challenging. There may be a range of issues that affect your life and studies whilst at ASU London or back at home. Counselling and therapy can give you time to explore what is going on in a safe setting.

Our Wellbeing Service incorporates Counselling, Therapy and Mental Health mentoring, and you can access this specialist level of support throughout your time with us. We work with professional counsellors and other mental health practitioners who have allocated time for ASU London and we can also refer you to outside services if appropriate.

“The support and advice available to students, both personally and academically, is great. Having two children that have completed/are completing degrees, we often discuss the differences between our universities and this is most definitely something where ASU London comes out on top!”
