Peter Symonds College

Student Support

Health & Wellbeing

Health and Wellbeing is a real priority for us. The Hub offers a fantastic range of support from drop in sessions, appointments, therapy dogs and our really popular groups. Students love our Lego group, our ASConnections group, our Craft and Create group as well as Hub Hangout. Our friendly, highly qualified team are available every day and no problem is too big or too small for them.

Our Counselling team work alongside the Hub offering more structured talking therapy. Appointments run throughout the college day so students can be seen quickly. Our students can self-refer to the service and have a choice of four qualified and very experienced counsellors. 

Our Student Services team offer support to specific groups of students such as our Care Experienced students, our Young Carers and our Transgender and Non-binary students. Our aim is to make your experience of college as enjoyable and positive as possible and to support you in any way we can. We also see students who want to access financial support or who just need some advice and support. We work closely with other agencies to offer services such as our sexual health clinic, and with our Student Union and EDI team to ensure there are always events for you to join in with.
