THERAPY FOR STUDENTS
Struggling at Uni?
University life is often portrayed as exciting and freeing. But for many students, it’s also a time of intense pressure, uncertainty, and emotional strain. Academic stress, identity questions, loneliness, family expectations, or adjusting to independence can all impact your mental health.
At ES Therapy Centre, we offer professional psychological support for students navigating the demands of higher education and early adulthood.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, low mood, burnout, or relationship issues, we provide a confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood.
THERAPY FOR STUDENTS
You're not alone
University can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or emotionally heavy. You might be dealing with:
-
Anxiety or panic attacks
-
Low mood, depression, or emotional numbness
-
Academic pressure, burnout, or perfectionism
-
Homesickness, loneliness, or social anxiety
-
Family or relationship stress
-
Gender, sexuality, or identity questions
-
Trouble focusing or staying motivated
-
Trauma or difficult past experiences
-
Adjusting to new environments or cultures
Whatever you’re facing, you’re not too much, too late, or too far behind to start getting support.

THERAPY FOR STUDENTS
Our Approach
We know student life isn’t always the “best years of your life.” Balancing deadlines, relationships, identity, and expectations, often far from home, can feel overwhelming.
Our therapy sessions are collaborative and tailored to what you need. We will take time to understand what’s really going on, help you make sense of your emotions, and explore meaningful ways forward.
We combine clinical insight with a warm, straightforward style, so you can feel supported, understood, and at ease. We welcome students at any stage, whether you’re thriving in some areas but feeling stuck in others, or facing more serious mental health challenges.
As part of our approach, we recognise the unique pressures of student life, busy schedules, part-time work, and financial constraints. That’s why we offer:
- In person sessions in Medway and online sessions across the UK
- Evening appointments to fit around your timetable
- Low-cost or sliding scale fees for eligible students
- Free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit

Frequently Asked Questions
How can psychotherapy help?
Psychotherapy can give people the opportunity to reflect, explore, and gain an understanding of their difficulties. It can open up conversations, bring clarity and help alleviate emotional distress. Through this process, clients can begin to form different perspectives, improve relationships and manage difficulties in a more balanced manner.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends entirely on yourself and the issues you bring to counselling. Some people come for just a few sessions and feel ready to stop, whilst others may feel they need longer. This is something we can talk about and agree on together.
Who do you work with?
We offer a safe, supportive and empathetic space where clients can explore issues without fear of judgement. Inclusivity is at the core of our practice. We recognise the unique difficulties faced by marginalised communities. Regardless of your age (18+), ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, or disability, you are warmly welcome here.
However, we do not offer emergency crisis service. If you are worried and in need of urgent help, please visit your nearest A&E department or call the emergency services on 999.

What is your cancellation policy?
We require 48 hours’ notice for the cancellation of sessions. Sessions cancelled within fewer than 48 hours are subject to the full fee. If your therapist needs to rearrange a session for any reason, they will aim to give you as much notice as possible and offer a suitable alternative session time.
How long is each counselling session?
Each session lasts a minimum of 50 minutes.
What are the fees?
Fees range from £80 to £120. For more information, contact us directly.
Where are you based?
We are based in Medway, Kent. We work with clients from this location as well as surrounding areas. In addition to providing in-person psychotherapy sessions, we also offer remote sessions for clients in other areas across the UK via Google Meet.
Is it all confidential?
Yes, sessions are confidential. However, there are some limits to confidentiality. The therapist will need to break confidentiality in situations where:
There are concerns about your immediate safety or the safety of others
Your information is subpoenaed by a court of law.
There is a legal obligation to do so, i.e. you disclose information regarding involvement or knowledge of a criminal offence.
