Counselling offers a confidential space where you can discuss any issues, past or present, that may be troubling you. It provides the opportunity to talk openly with an impartial professional who can help you process your thoughts and emotions, leading you to meaningful insights. Rather than offering direct advice, counselling empowers you to discover your own solutions, promoting a deeper sense of self-understanding and personal growth—key components of a fulfilling life.
Counselling Options for Homerton Students
At Homerton, short-term counselling is available through various pathways to support our students’ wellbeing.

Email counselling@homerton.cam.ac.uk to arrange a referral meeting with Grace Hernandez, who will discuss your preferences and explore appropriate referrals to external counsellors.
University Counselling Service
All Homerton students also have access to the University Counselling Service, which can be accessed through a simple self-referral form.
