We’re a research active University Counselling Service that strives to offer effective interventions to improve the mental health and academic outcomes of our students. We undertake research, lead student projects and offer placement opportunities.

We’re a multidisciplinary and collaborative team of clinical practitioners, researchers, and students. Our overarching goal is to offer evidence-based interventions that improve students’ mental health and enable them to thrive at university.

We use research to inform our development and identify ways to improve student outcomes.

We work with academics and clinical specialists within and outside of the University, including:

• PEARLS research lab (University of Sheffield

• PsychUP (University College London)

• UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

• British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

We currently offer research placements for undergraduates, clinical placements for doctoral students, and dissertation projects in collaboration with the Department of Psychology.

We’re also developing a Research and Training Clinic with a dedicated Student Advisory Committee and Advisory Board. If you’d like to get involved with this work please contact UCS@sheffield.ac.uk.
