Student Counselling - Soft Market Testing 2023

At Essex, in line with the national picture, we have seen a significant growth in the demand for student mental health services. Our Student Wellbeing and Inclusivity Service (SWIS) provides a professional and proactive service for students within a safe, healthy and inclusive environment. It is our ambition to support our students to fulfil their potential as individuals and to enable them to be active participants in their own educational experiences and the transformational opportunities available to them at the University of Essex. Counselling is part of the service provision in SWIS. We are seeking an external counselling partner who has a strong understanding of the higher education context, including the student journey, and will be able to adapt provision to meet the diverse needs of students.
