“Extremely friendly and helpful, gave lots of tips on what steps I needed to take and I felt very listened to. I also feel very comfortable setting up a follow-up appointment to further discuss the steps we arranged.”

Appointments are available both online and face to face and you can have up to three of each appointment type per semester. We offer four different types of appointment:

Advice and guidance appointments (20 minutes)
