Managing our mental health and wellbeing is as important as taking care of our physical health. Feelings of low mood, stress and anxiety while managing the pressures of study are common issues which can affect anyone and are not signs of inadequacy or failure. Most of us can overcome these difficulties or learn to manage them with the right support at the right time. However, if these feelings start to overwhelm you or significantly affect your wellbeing, it’s important to seek help.

The Student Wellbeing and Disability Support team are here to help support you and can refer you to the appropriate support and services, including our university counselling services. We also offer a direct phone line, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Further details can be found at the bottom of this page.

One-to-one appointments with a Student Advisor are available by phone, MS Teams or Zoom. Face-to-face appointments are also available at the Cranfield campus and both the Shrivenham and MK:U sites. Please email studentsupport@cranfield.ac.uk to book an appointment.



Looking after your emotional needs

Prevention is always better than cure, so it can be helpful for you to identify a series of positive lifestyle habits which can generate a feeling of wellbeing. Feeling good enables you to prepare for or better cope with stress when it happens. Emotional wellbeing is our ability to look after our emotional needs, it is understanding the value of our emotions and using them in order to move forward.
