Find access to Warwick’s mental health services here


As we begin to reach the end of Term Two, exams, coursework and assessments start to pile up, and it is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed and anxious about all the growing pressure.

Whether it’s social stress, academic worry or anything in between, here are the local services that the university offers which you might find helpful if you want to reach out for mental health support. 

Warwick Wellbeing – Brief Online Consultation via the Wellbeing Portal

Open 10am to 3pm, Monday to Friday, accessing Warwick Wellbeing’s Portal can offer you a brief online consultation with a professional advisor on the same day. Here, you will be given advice and be directed to the support that best suits your needs. 

In this brief consultation, the advisor will ask you questions and gather any relevant information to then connect you with further help – for example, either a psychologist, psychiatrist, therapist etc. through the university.

The University of Warwick Health Centre

To access GP Mental Health services on campus, you can book an appointment with the University of Warwick Health Centre. You can do this by calling them directly, and the Health Centre can be found on campus (Health Centre Road; in between Rootes/Bluebell and Jack Martin). 

The services provided by the Health Centre are less of a talking therapy and more of a way to be referred to wider NHS mental health services, such as referrals to different departments/teams, and prescribed medication. 

Please note that the Health Centre’s opening hours are from Monday – Friday: 9am – 6pm during Term Time, and it is important to call them to book an appointment as early as you can since there can often be a long queue.

Wellbeing Self-Support Webpage

Here, you can access plenty of online resources and articles for self-help. These topics range from anxiety to healthy sexual relationships; loss to panic attacks. These resources may be helpful if you need more information about your own mental health, or even if you’re just looking to research more about what it is that you’re going through. 

Additionally, many of these topics will provide information on where you can seek further help or connect you to other resources, if you should require it.
