Having problems with your mental health can feel lonely but at least 25% of us will struggle with this type of problem in our lifetime. Reaching out for help can seem like a big step, but we can help.
If you are experiencing mental health concerns such as low mood, anxiety, worrying thoughts, paranoia, eating problems, possible addiction or anything else, please arrange an appointment with us.
Coventry University also has a separate counselling service that you can access directly online.
