External support

The Counselling, Health Advice and Chaplaincy Service aims to offer you support when you need help. Sometimes this means helping you to access services outside of UAL that can offer longer term or specialist support.

We do not endorse any of these organisations, but have compiled a list of low cost counselling and psychotherapy services in London. You will also find details on how to self-refer to IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies), the NHS therapy service. You can also check out a variety of training organisations that provide longer term therapy at lower cost.
