University of St. Andrews
We have a variety of services available to students for mental, physical, and emotional support. This ranges from more professional advice from Student Service’s Counselling or Disability Teams, as well as student run initiatives such as Nightline or Peer Support.
Student Services delivers Wellbeing, Counselling and Mental Health services through a Matched Care model that considers the individual needs of each student and evidence-based practice. Our staff work collaboratively with students, offering both one-off, one-at-a-time appointments and ongoing support as appropriate.
