notice, and can offer confidential support sessions even if other avenues of
support are not pursued.
• The College Counsellors and CBT Therapists, who provide confidential
counselling to students referred from the MHA.
Within the wider University, students also have access to:
• The University Counselling Service, which uses the self referral system at
http://www.counselling.cam.ac.uk/studentcouns/students. They also have a
‘Self Help for Students’ section on their website with helpful leaflets and
guidance.
• The Student Advice Service (https://www.cambridgesu.co.uk/support/advice/),
which is run by the Cambridge Student Union and offers practical support
on academic and welfare issues. They can help you to find specialist support
elsewhere, provide information on University procedures and - of course -
give friendly advice.
• The Disability Advisor (Eleanor.Girt-Izod@admin.cam.ac.uk) , who is Trinity’s
contact at the Disability Resource Centre and can offer or help you to
access specialist support if you disclosed a disability on your UCAS application
or otherwise. If you have not disclosed a disability but would like to, you
can do so here https://www.disability.admin.cam.ac.uk/student-informationform.
If you don’t have an official diagnosis, you can start the process by
contacting disability@admin.cam.ac.uk.
The ‘Where to go: Accessing support’ page at www.studentwellbeing.admin.cam.ac.uk
also has a great list of resources for specific concerns.
If you have any trouble finding the right support for you, or have had any problems
with the mental health support services that college provides, please do not hesitate
to get in contact with me. Hope this guide was helpful!
