How do I access counselling support?
The Counselling Service offers short-term support through face-to-face, telephone and Zoom appointments.

What to expect from counselling – Counselling Service Agreement (see attached document)
This would give students an opportunity to read about how the service works before they refer themselves or attend their first appointment. However, I’m happy to follow your advice on the most appropriate way to make the document accessible. If you think it would be better to create a separate Ask Herts page for the agreement and link to it from the team page, that would also work well.
