Registering with the Counselling & Mental Health Support Service

This article gives you information about the registration process and eligibility for the Counselling & Mental Health Support Service at King's.

Before registering, we recommend reading through all the information below carefully, and also reading  How can the Counselling & Mental Health Support Service help me?  for detail about what you can expect from the service.

We also recommend referring to  Managing your mental health & wellbeing  for an overview of support options available.

Who is eligible to register with the Counselling & Mental Health Support Service?

To access our service, you need to: ​​​​​​

  • Be registered with a doctor/GP. To learn how to do this, read our article How do i register with a doctor and/or dentist?
  • Have enrolled at the university for a degree programme.
  • Not have registered with us within the last week (we are unable to process multiple applications).
  • Be currently residing in the UK to qualify for full counselling appointments (non-UK resident students receive 30-minute supportive check-in sessions only).

This service may not be suitable for you, if:

  • The Counselling & Mental Health Support Service are not an emergency service, and might not be able to see you as quickly as you would need. Instead please visit our  Crisis support: need help now  for specialists and emergency services which are available 24/7.
  • You are currently being seen by another counsellor/psychotherapist in either in an NHS, charity or private setting ​​​​​​.
  • You require a medication review or a prescription for medicine (we advise you to contact your GP to discuss medication).
  • For support around submitting this kind of evidence, please refer to  Evidence to support your mitigating circumstances application .
  • Unfortunately, the service is unable to accept applications from students ending their studies in 4 weeks or less due to longer waiting times. If you are finishing your time at King's but need specialist mental health support, we recommend approaching your GP or  NHS Every Mind Matters .
  • You can find more details about support for substance misuse at NHS:  Drug addiction: getting help .
  • You can get information and details of support in our article  Support for difficulties with drugs or alcohol .
  • This includes a mental health condition which has lasted for longer than 12 months. For support with a longer term condition, we recommend contacting the Disability Support Team; take a look at our article  Support for students with long-term mental health conditions .
  • You have been seen in our service less than 3 months previously.

Can I register with two Counselling Services?

If you're on the waiting list to join an NHS counselling service, or if you have been told by your doctor to see a therapist, we recommend that you do not register with another service while you are waiting to be seen by a professional. This includes services such as the King’s Counselling & Mental Health Support Service.  Registering with two different counsellors/therapists at the same time can be stressful and can be hard to manage, especially alongside your studies. If you find that you have been on the waiting list to see a counsellor or a therapist for a long period of time, we recommend that you contact your doctor or the receptionist at your practice and ask if it can be possible to be seen by a therapist sooner.  

I'm eligible for this service. How can I register?

The Counselling and Mental Health Support Service (C&MHS) offers free and confidential online and in-person support.

Important to know:  

  • If you are a UK-based student, you must have a GP based in the UK to access the Counselling and Mental Health Service.
  • Please make sure you have read through our eligibility information to make sure this is the most appropriate source of support for you.
  • For key service updates please visit  Counselling & Mental Health Support .
  • Unfortunately, the online self-referral form will not work if you are trying to register from outside the UK. ​​​​​​If you're unable to use the registration form, find that please email the service directly, and we'll see what support or advice we can offer.

If you have queries about the registration process or about other mental health support, you can  email the service directly.

To register  with Counselling & Mental Health Service please complete the online   self-referral form .

What happens to my form when I register?

Once you complete the online referral form, this will be sent automatically to the C&MHS service administrator only. The next working day after your initial application for an appointment has been received, you will be sent a full online registration form and questionnaire. These forms are confidential and help us offer you a suitable appointment at a convenient time, if possible.

When will I be able to make an appointment?

Before you can make an appointment, you’ll need to register with our service. Once you’ve registered, you’ll be offered an initial appointment to assess your level of need.    Following this initial assessment, you may be referred for further sessions, which can be either individual or group. Guided Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or psychoeducational groups might also be suggested, and we might recommend a suitable external service.   While you are waiting for the service to contact you, you can register for  Togetherall , which is the university's chosen online support platform for mental health. Important to know:  if you are in crisis or feel unsafe, please visit Crisis support: need help now .

What is the waiting time for counselling?

Wait times depend on your level of risk .  

We assess this when you register.  If you're assessed to be at a very high risk level, we should be able to offer you an appointment within a few days of your registration.

If you are assessed to be at a low to moderate risk level, the waiting time will generally be 2-3 weeks.

Important to know:  Waiting times can vary at different times of the year. During November, February and May the waiting time may be up to  4 weeks.

There may also be a longer wait for in-person sessions.

What can I do while I’m waiting?

While you are waiting for the service to contact you, we recommend registering with  Togetherall , which is a free online support platform for mental health. To learn more about this service, have a look at our article Mental health support from Togetherall . There is further information and support available in the following articles:

  • I’m lonely and homesick, what can I do?
  • What kind of mental health apps are there that I can access?

If you'd like to talk about an issue or problem in the evening or weekend, and feel that you cannot wait to see a counsellor, find out more about the support on offer in our article  Mental health support during evenings, weekends & vacation periods . If you need to get in touch with the Counselling & Mental Health Support Service while you wait for an appointment, please email us .

How long are the appointments?

For UK-based students: Our appointments are 50 minutes. For overseas-based students: Due to various licensing and registration issues, if you are based overseas, we are only permitted to offer 30-minute welfare appointments.  The law in some countries restricts the right to practise as a counsellor or psychologist, and practitioners have to meet the local professional requirements to be legally compliant.  This is why 50-minute appointments are available only to students who are based in the UK. ​​​

Will my appointment be face-to-face or online?

The Counselling & Mental Health Service currently offers a mix of online and in-person appointments.

If you're interested in doing counselling completely online, please check out our article What is King's Counselling Online (KCO)?

What can I expect from my initial appointment?

The purpose of the first session is to consider the problem you have come with and think, with the counsellor, about a way forward. The counsellor may suggest a second appointment if more time is needed for assessment.

You may like to consider joining a longer-term therapy group, and this would be discussed during the assessment meeting if appropriate.  Students joining therapy groups are usually offered longer-term support, e.g. for a term or an academic year.

Appointment conduct

Late arrival

If you know that you are going to be late for the beginning of your session, please email your counsellor. If you cannot contact your counsellor, then please contact our administrators by email . Your counsellor will wait for your arrival and you will be seen for the remainder of your session.

Cancellation & Attendance Policy

Important to know: Please take a moment to read our cancellation and attendance policy. Missed and cancelled appointments result in longer waiting times for students who would like to see a counsellor.

  • If you do not attend your first confirmed appointment/assessment and you do not respond to an email from your counsellor/Mental Health Advisor (MHA), we will assume that you no longer require counselling.
  • If you cancel an assessment appointment, we may not offer you an alternative appointment unless there is a valid reason such as sudden injury or illness. Please bear in mind that all faculties and workplaces must offer you time off to attend health appointments.
  • If an assessment appointment or first session with a new counsellor/MHA is cancelled twice, a further appointment will not be offered, and you must reapply to the service if you wish to see a counsellor/MHA.
  • If you miss one of your ongoing sessions with a counsellor/MHA and have not notified them in advance, or contacted them after the missed appointment, it will be assumed that you no longer require counselling.
  • If you cancel a session giving at least 48 hours’ notice, you will be offered an alternative appointment. If you cancel an appointment at short notice (less than 48 hours), or miss an appointment but notify your counsellor/MHA after the appointment, this will be counted as a session and taken from the total number of sessions agreed with your counsellor/MHA. 

Please be assured that your counsellor will remind you of our cancellation and attendance policy when you first meet with them.

What kind of follow-up appointments can I expect?

The service typically offers 4 - 6 sessions of individual counselling. Longer term support may be possible through a small team of associates and counsellors in training. This option will be discussed at the assessment appointment, if appropriate.

For UK-based students:  Our appointments are 50 minutes. For overseas-based students:  Due to various licensing and registration issues, if you are based overseas, we are only permitted to offer 30-minute welfare appointments. The law in some countries restricts the right to practise as a counsellor or psychologist, and practitioners have to meet the local professional requirements to be legally compliant. This is why 50-minute appointments are available only to students who are based in the UK.

This is a three-year programme, however a discretionary extension into a fourth year can be granted in order to complete any outstanding research on the final thesis, with additional research fees added proportionally.

Graduate Loyalty Discount

We offer City students a loyalty discount upon enrolling on a second course at The City Law School. All you need to do is meet the entry requirements for your second course (postgraduate level) and we will automatically take 10% off of your tuition fees.

This can be received in addition to receiving a scholarship and will be applied to the second round of payments due.

Additional costs

In addition to programme fees, there are some other costs that trainees would need to cover. These include:

  • Cost for personal therapy
  • The purchase of an encrypted recording device for clinical work
  • External clinical supervision, if required
  • Reading materials, if required

Encrypted recording devices for clinical work

In order to comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) policies it is an essential requirement for all students who join the DPsych programme in Counselling Psychology to purchase a City University of London approved encrypted audio recording device.

The device costs approximately £300 and is used to record client sessions (with the client’s consent). Recording is an essential part of the DPsych programme as it helps to facilitate clinical learning, supervisors’ evaluations and yearly clinical academic assignments. Information regarding the specific make and model of the device will be provided to you after you have enrolled on the programme.

External clinical supervision

If clinical supervision is not to be provided at placement by an Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)-registered Practitioner Psychologist, then external supervision would need to be sought at trainees' expense. The majority of placements that our trainees select, however, do meet this supervision requirement in-house.

Reading materials

Many assigned readings are available online and are also available in our library. However, trainees may want to purchase some of the key reading materials assigned.

Additional expenses

Some of our degrees may involve additional expenses which are not covered by your tuition fees.  Find out more about additional expenses .

Entry requirements

Below is a list of countries with information on each about which qualifications we accept. If your country is not listed please email [email protected] .

There are two stages to the selection process for the Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at City: 1) a written application, which is used by the programme team to short list candidates, and 2) an interview process, which is used to select the strongest candidates from the short list. The programme receives a high volume of applications each year. This inevitably means that selection is competitive and applicants who can demonstrate the strongest applications are most likely to be short listed for interview and offered a place. The team makes its decisions on the basis of evidence gathered throughout the application process.

All applicants must meet the programme’s eligibility criteria before applying, as listed below. Those who meet these criteria should submit a written application using the University’s standard application for postgraduate courses. The written application should clearly demonstrate that applicants meet the criteria.

Eligibility Criteria

Degree and gbc.

A 2:1 honours degree or above which confers the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society (BPS) (see below) or other first degree with relevant conversion course. The evidence would normally be in the form of a letter from the BPS confirming that you are a Graduate Member and that you have been granted GBC. If you are unsure whether your undergraduate degree confers GBC then please contact the BPS for clarification. If you are currently completing a relevant BPS accredited course you will need to have applied for and been granted Graduate Membership conferring GBC with the BPS, by the commencement of the programme.

International Equivalences

If you are applying with an overseas degree, the following is an indication of international equivalents of an upper second class degree from a UK institution. Please note these figures are intended as a guide only and individual applications will be assessed on a case by case basis.

  • China: Bachelor degree (Xueshi) in a suitable subject with an overall grade of 75 – 85% (depending on the standing of the awarding institution)
  • USA: Bachelor degree in a suitable subject with CGPA 3.2
  • India: Bachelor degree in a suitable subject with CGPA 6.5 / overall 65% / 1 st Division classification
  • Turkey: Lisans Diplomasi or a Műhendis Diplomasi with a minimum CGPA 3.0 or 65%
  • Italy: Diploma di Laurea in a suitable subject with a minimum score of 104.

Mental health experience and therapeutic skills training

Successful completion of introductory training in therapeutic/counselling skills, other appropriate mental health training undertaken for example as a health or social care worker, or equivalent substantial relevant clinical experience. We are looking for training such as certificate-level counselling skills courses (i.e. a course which awards you a certificate on completion); other relevant therapeutic training, e.g. that offered by various levels of the NHS IAPT programme such as for psychological well-being practitioners; or other appropriate mental health training undertaken as a health or social care worker. Equivalent substantial relevant clinical experience will also be accepted.

We run a five-day workshop at City, University of London which equips you with relevant skills for application to the Professional Doctorate course, although other courses are also available on the market.

Find out more and obtain a place on the City run Counselling Skills Workshop .

Substantial experience with face-to-face mental health / counselling work (usually one year minimum). This could include working (paid or unpaid) as a mental health or social care support worker / healthcare assistant in a ward or community setting; a mental health charity; a victim support unit; bereavement counselling; or relationship counselling. The experience we are looking for is more than 'befriending', and is different from having worked for example in healthcare roles other than mental health. You need to show you can talk about a patient / client case, conceptualise the person's problems, and put this within the context of the person's life history and environmental system.

The capacity to undertake research to doctoral level will be evidenced through the submission of an original research proposal as part of your application, and through consideration of your prior research learning and experience. The research proposal should be no more than 1000 words and should not be one that has already been submitted as part of another programme of study.

Submission of this proposal would not necessarily be considered a final choice of research topic if you are successful in your application. In addition to the research proposal, you are required to include a 300-word ‘Service User Involvement Strategy’.

Further guidance on the research proposal and service user involvement strategy is available in the ‘ Guidelines for Prospective Students ’ document.

APL/AEC (Accreditation of prior learning / existing competence) Requirements

It may be possible to receive APL for certain modules in Year 1 of the programme. A common request is for APL for our module Cognitive Behavioural Approaches in Counselling Psychology. Module APL will only be granted for study at Level 7 (typically High Intensity diploma).

Any exemptions against practice requirements will only be granted on the basis of competence gained following achievement of eligibility for the GBC.

DBS Check/Occupational Health

All students commencing the Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology are required to undergo an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check (previously known as an enhanced CRB Disclosure). You are advised to visit the DBS website for further information . The amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are 'protected' and are not subject to disclosure to employers, and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Disclosure and Barring Service website.

Students are also required to complete an Occupational Health questionnaire prior to admission and to attend an Occupational Health appointment in the first weeks of the course to ensure you have health clearance to practice. Immunisations are required in order to protect both potentially vulnerable service users and the student on clinical placement. Successful applicants will be given specific details of your mandatory appointment during your induction.

The DBS check and occupational health procedures are designed to check whether you are suitable to do our programme. The costs of them are borne by the programme. They do not assess or give any guarantees about whether someone completing our programme will be registered by the HCPC.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Robotic systems for precision automation

The Centre for Robotics Research (CORE) has an exciting PhD opportunity to join its multidisciplinary team. Mechanical systems used in automated processes, such as manufacturing and robotics applications, usually comprise of rigid components connected by traditional joints. The performance of these joints is limited due to complex and uncertain effects, including friction and backlash. Additionally, the joints suffer from wear, causing their performance to decline over time. Therefore, the system’s ability to accurately follow given movements is reduced and prevents use in high precision applications.

Application Deadline: 01 September 2024

PhD Studentship in Ghanaian Literature, King’s College London

Subject areas:.

Languages and literature.

Funding type:

Tuition fee. Stipend. Research Training & Support Grant.

Fully funded, three-year, full-time PhD in the English department, in partnership with the UKRI-funded Decolonization, Appropriation and the Materials of Literature in Africa and its Diaspora (LITAID)

Award details

King’s College London invites applications for one funded, three-year, full time PhD in the Department of English , in association with the UKRI-funded project Decolonization, Appropriation and the Materials of Literature in Africa and its Diaspora (LITAID) .

The PhD project associated with this studentship will focus on Ghanaian literary production during the period of formal decolonization (c. 1946-1962). It will examine a range of authors and institutions, and explore how far the literary practices of the period were shaped by transcultural and multilingual interactions and appropriations. It will be informed by methods of literary sociology, book history, and comparative literature, and will require extensive research in archives and the ability to work with texts in several languages.

King’s College London is committed to the promotion of equality, diversity and inclusion. We especially encourage, therefore, members of marginalized groups to apply, including ethnic minorities, women, persons with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those from less privileged backgrounds.

LITAID: Decolonization, Appropriation and the Materials of Literature in Africa and its Diaspora project

LITAID addresses questions about the materials of literature and how these are appropriated from one literary culture to another. It does this by focusing on literary decolonization in Africa and its diaspora, and by looking especially at the literary field in Ghana, considering its transnational dimensions from the perspective of local artists and institutions as well as a range of literary travelers who came seeking decolonial resources for their own communities.

Adopting an innovative approach combining methodologies of world literature, literary sociology, book history, poetics and narratology, the history of education, and digital humanities, LITAID examines Ghanaian print culture; the role of schools and universities in literary decolonization; the transnational dimensions of Ghanaian literary culture; relations between Ghanaian, South African, Caribbean and African American literary cultures; and the careers of several major authors.

In addition to the PhD student, the LITAID team consists of the PI (Dr Jarad Zimbler), a Research Associate in African Literatures and Print Cultures (Dr Michelle Kelly), a Research Associate in West African Arts Education (tba), and a Research Assistant (tba). The PhD student will work as a member of this team, and will be expected to complete the tasks associated with individual work packages.

The Department of English

The PhD student will be registered at King’s College London. They will be supervised by Dr Jarad Zimbler , with second supervision provided by another member of staff at King’s as appropriate.
