ONE-TO-ONE ONLINE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF

stress due to isolation, changes in routine, loneliness and high levels of anxiety.

and staff, delivered online via secure video link (Google Meet). Our practitioners offer proactive and strategic forms of support
to meet your needs. We have an expert team of mental health professionals (psychologists, counsellors,
mental health nurses and social workers) on hand to provide a service that is safe, secure and bespoke to

Our services can help people in many different ways depending on the need of the individual and what they
would like to work on themselves, for example:
- Motivation and empowerment to identify their own issues and targets, and help them to find ways of
resolving
or
reaching them.
- Support and encouragement to find ways to manage their own learning and development.
- Space to stop, think and talk about the psychological pressures and stresses they may be under with a
well
qualified and experienced person who understands the needs of individuals at university.
In all instances, the practitioner will help the individual to identify, define and articulate their goals
and personal motives. UMO services enables the individual to establish a private and safe relationship with
their practitioner who understands the demands of university life and the psychological difficulties and
problems that they face.
