Affordable & Flexible Support For Students

MOVING TO UNIVERSITY IS A CHALLENGING LIFE TRANSITION

Moving to university is a big life event. Many young people find this transition difficult, as they learn to navigate a new environment, new responsibilities and freedoms.

These challenges might trigger stress, anxiety and other emotions, or add pressure to any existing mental health issues you have. Meeting new people at university, and missing your friends and family back home can be hard, and facing the challenges of managing your workload, finances and other commitments can feel overwhelming.

Feel Well

We listen with compassion to your struggle with weight, eating and your health.

Arrange a call with our friendly assessment team, and let us explain how our services can support you.

We value being clear and open about our prices, so please check Our Fees before booking a call.

UNIVERSITY CAN IMPACT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD

Stresses that you face at university can impact your relationship with food. You may feel free for the first time to choose what you want to eat, which can easily lead to overeating, social drinking and weight gain. 

Some students turn to food for comfort, to numb them out if they’ve had a stressful day. Others may feel that restricting what they eat helps to give them a sense of personal control in an environment which may feel chaotic and out of their control.

Binge eating, perfectionism, bulimia, compulsive exercise, night eating and severe food restriction are just some of the ways students end up coping with their university experience and life stress. 

Students often report they feel isolated and unsupported. Social anxiety, panic attacks, depression and low self-worth are presentations often seen in young people who are struggling with their transition into university life.
