WELLBEING & PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT

Looking after your health and wellbeing is essential to get the most out of your time at university. Life at BUV can be exciting, and we understand that it can also bring challenges, such as adjusting to a new environment and the general stress of being a student. Sometimes it is not easy to reach out to family and friends, or to deal with things ourselves. Counselling can be helpful during these times.

All the sessions I had with the BUV Well-being team, in which I was seen and heard most compassionately and lovingly, have been extremely helpful to my academic and personal lives. Our counsellor is very attentive and responsive, trying her best to create a safe environment to pour my heart out.
