I've been under way more anxiety over my studies and day to day life this year, it's been difficult, but hopefully it'll get better. I hope it'll get better. Support and communication helps so much.

I hope that podcast helped in some way. But yes communication is so important when dealing with things like this.

Great podcast, I think it would be great if university made counselling a lot easier to get

How would you suggest they made it easier?

They could have more counsellors, more leaflets handed out on campus, and just generally spreading more awareness that counselling is an option for students who are feeling down

Would this encourage you to see someone if you were feeling down?

Yea I think so, because I think counselling has quite a bad stigma, especially amongst men, so more awareness of what it is and how it can help would certainly encourage me
