Counselling Services

Talking to someone is a great way to help relieve stress, feel less alone and unburden yourself of your worries. 

Here at St Cross there is always someone available to talk to including the Academic Registrar Sharon Durno and several Peer supporters, who are always here to listen in the strictest of confidence. If however you are seeking more regular professional help there are plenty of options available to you both in College and via the central University.
