Every student’s academic success and mental well-being is a priority at Plymouth College of Art and it prides itself on its excellent counselling services. Students are offered immediate appointments and there is no limit on the number of sessions a student can book. The self-referral and autonomous booking system make seeing a counsellor easy with a number of slots available to fit around busy schedules.
Plymouth College of Art students have access to a range of online services through Student Support, Student Counselling site and the Wellbeing site that cover everything from bereavement to LGBTQ+ support. These services make booking an appointment with a counsellor or learning how to improve mental health and wellbeing or seek targeted support for a specific problem easy.
The Students’ Union and Student’s Hub also provide supportive environments. Student Support is located in the main Tavistock Place campus and is open weekdays from 8:30am to 5pm during term time, and from 8:30am to 4:30pm at all other times. No appointment is necessary.
Plymouth College of Art students on Whatuni say:
“Student support at PCA has a great counselling system with no waitlist! They run an open door policy and are very welcoming and accommodating.”
“The personal support from counselling, careers and library services is amazing and maybe the best part of the uni.”
