‌Drop In Service
Monday to Friday, 11:00am - 3:00pm
  • Visit us: Level 1, One Elmwood

Alternatively, you can also contact us through our Online Form.

During your Drop-In meeting, the Disability & Wellbeing Adviser may feel that you need a longer appointment to discuss your issues and explore suitable support options. Therefore you may be booked into a 1:1 appointment with an appropriate member of the team, or it may be that you need support from another service, such as Counselling, Advice SU or an external service. 

One to One Consultations
Meet with a Wellbeing Adviser

Students can request a meeting with a Wellbeing Adviser by completing our online form or emailing studentwellbeing@qub.ac.uk. Students will be allocated a one hour consultation appointment with a Wellbeing Adviser to discuss their issues/concerns and look at appropriate support options. Student Wellbeing Service is a free service for all students registered at the University, including students on placement and Erasmus programmes (support can be arranged via telephone/Skype). The Student Wellbeing Adviser will listen non judgementally to your issues and concerns, and talk through suitable support options. Please read our  which explains how we treat the information you share with us whist receiving support.

Self Help
Online Self Help Material

We have a wide range of self-help materials in our resource area in the Student Drop In (Level 1, behind the Information Desk). We also work in partnership with Inspire Wellbeing, who have launched the Inspire Student Hub. Register an account to access these materials. If you are prompted for a pin, please enter 'QUBHUB' (without quotation marks). 

Students can explore our online resources section to find specific advice on a range of issues. If you feel that things aren't improving through accessing our self help materials, please arrange to come in for a meeting with a Wellbeing Adviser, it may be that you need to talk to someone to help you work your way through your issues, or it may be that you need to engage with other specialist services.
