This is completely ridiculous, a lot of people rely on the service and it's things like the counselling service that get some people through college. I bet they care when their grades drop because pupils aren't being supported enough.

Last year the counseling servis made a difference to my mental state and I might not have been able to have coped with collage with out it... its rediculess expecting all students to be able to cope with out any help.

They even spent £60,000 on a new library that now looks like a nursery classroom.
And made a lot of redundncies before the 2012/13 school year, but they can afford a new logo and the work in rebranding everything.

Indebted to the counselling service.

I am indebted to the counselling service at St Mary's College. Without which, I am not sure if I would be here. It gave me the courage to accept I had a problem and go to the doctors to be diagnosed as bipolar. I would not have been able to make this step without the counselling service. Although I am no longer a student at the college, I feel that without the service there will be students who are like me without the support. That is a deeply disturbing thought.

Completely agreed, the staff are horrible, impolite and lazy too.

Happy to sign this, especially after having needed the services in the past i'm horrified to see them go.

I don't attend St Mary's college however I attend a local college in which I've used their counselling services many of times, I know many others who also have used it and needed to in desperate and unfortunate life situations.

It should be a minimal requirement.
