The WIT Student Counselling Service offers friendly, professional and confidential support to students who are experiencing emotional or psychological distress.  The Service is co-coordinated by Ann-Marie Quigley, Psychologist. Counselling is available, free of charge, to all full-time students who are registered with WIT.

Counselling sessions offer a safe environment in which students can work to resolve any emotional difficulties they may be experiencing. Such problems may be current or arising from events in the past. The counseling process aims to support and empower students to find solutions to their difficulties and to make their day to day life more manageable. Skills gained through counseling can benefit both your personal wellbeing and interpersonal relationships throughout your life.

Some of the problems with which students commonly seek help include: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, bereavement, rape, sexual abuse, addiction, exam stress, sexual identity, relationship or family difficulties.

The Student Counselling Service also runs psycho-educational workshops and training programmes for staff and students.

The Student Counselling Service operates by appointment only. To make an appointment please call or e-mail the service (details below). When phoning or e-mailing to request an appointmentplease leave your name and phone number and we will contact you to schedule an appointment.
