  • 7cups.com is a website that offers free online counselling via instant messenger. It’s completely anonymous and worth a go if you think it might be beneficial.
  • iAPT: If you’re in the UK (over summer, for example), you can refer yourself to a mental health specialist via - https://www.nhs.uk/Service-Search/Psychological%20therapies%20%28IAPT%29/LocationSearch/10008 
  • The International Counselling Service can provide private, english speaking counsellors. It is free to have the initial consultation but there will be a charge for any counselling sessions you book. The university may be able to help you cover these costs but it’s worth checking with Student Services first  : http://www.icsparis.com/index.asp 
  • Nightline is a confidential and anonymous listening support service. It is run by volunteers throughout the night and allows university students to talk about whatever is on their mind. Every university has its own Nightline that is run by students from their university : in our case, the University of London.  http://nightline.org.uk/ ​
