      How we can help: Our role is to support your wellbeing while you are at College, whether that’s an issue affecting your studies, personal problems that you’re experiencing or an injury or condition. We will talk to you about what you’re experiencing and then work with you to consider what you need and what the next steps for support could be.

      You can choose how much to tell us about your situation – we will use what you tell us only for the purpose of getting the right support to you for your studies. 

      Find out more about what you can expect from us, how to book and where to find us in the "Meet with a Student Disability & Wellbeing Advisor" section further down this page.

      Arrange to meet with one of us:

    • Counsellors

      Email: Counselling@rncm.ac.uk

      Counselling provides an opportunity for you to explore any issues you may wish to talk about with someone who is not directly involved in the situation you are trying to deal with. This may be about anything that is on your mind, or which may be affecting you and/or the way you relate to others.

      The College counsellors won’t pass judgement or give advice but try and assist you to find your own solutions. Their main concern is to help you discover a more fulfilling and satisfying way of leading your life.

      The service is free of charge and anything you choose to bring to counselling will be treated with confidentiality.

      To find out more, visit the RNCM Counselling Service Moodle page.
