Why does Leeds College of Music provide a Counselling Service?
Whilst you’re studying at Leeds College of Music you may find yourself experiencing some, or all of the pressures of student life – including academic achievement, lack of money, homesickness, coping with the pressure of studying with a learning difficulty or disability, combining work and study or making new friends. Studying music at a specialist college can also bring its own stresses – anxieties about performance, injury and competitive feelings. These pressures, or coping with a crisis such as the break up of a relationship, bereavement or pregnancy can sometimes develop into a major preoccupation, affecting your sense of well being. Seeking the help of a counsellor gives you the opportunity to talk over your concerns in complete privacy and in confidence. In recognition of these pressures, and that mental well being is one of the most important factors enabling you to fulfil your potential, the College has a well-established, free counselling service available to all its students
