Advice and Guidance Appointments
Book a 30 minute 1:1 appointment for initial advice and signposting to get the appropriate support you need.
Accessing Wellbeing Support
We are committed to providing all students facing a wellbeing / mental health challenge, academic struggles, or a personal issue with timely access to professional advice and support.
Students are encouraged to book a confidential appointment with a wellbeing advisor to talk through any concerns. This could be to discuss something that is on your mind, for advice and referral to other services (within the university and/or externally) or if you just don’t know who to talk to about something we can refer you to the right support.
Students can access support through the Support Portal for concerns such as:
- Emotional Wellbeing
- Personal and Social Issues like depression and anxiety.
- Bullying or harassment
- Identity and self-discovery (e.g. gender, sexuality).
Booking an Advice & Guidance (A&G) Appointment
Bookings for Advice and Guidance appointments is via our Student Support Portal, or you can follow the below link to book:
Appointments are available over the phone, over Microsoft Teams video call, or in person on campus. Please note that not all appointment slots are available in all formats, so if you are after a specific type of meeting format, you may have to check a few appointment types to see what is available. You will need to share some information about why you have booked the appointment in the booking form, but it is okay if you aren’t sure what to say, you can talk things through with the adviser.
If you are struggling with the Support Portal, please email us at wellbeing@chi.ac.uk for further guidance or support accessing it.
What to expect from my Advice & Guidance Appointment
During your appointment we will discuss what you are struggling with. We may ask questions so we can gain a better understanding of the best support for you. We can then provide you with advice and signposting that will be tailored to you.
Appointments are confidential between you and us. We will never share information about you without consent, unless we have reason to believe you might be a danger to yourself or others. This decision is never taken lightly. That being said, please double check our permissions to share information with your next of kin on your ChiView account if you are concerned about this. Please see our data protection and safeguarding policies for more information.
After your appointment, you’ll receive an email from your adviser with a summary of what you discussed. This will include a list of suggested actions, and links to relevant resources and external support. That way you don’t have to worry about remembering everything or finding websites later.
