With World Mental Health Day just around the corner (10 October), here’s a reminder of how our Student Services team can support you throughout your time at Liverpool.
You can find them in the Student Life Building on University Square. Made up of several teams, they can help no matter what comes your way.
You can reach them by calling them on 0151 795 1000 or visit the Student Services website for information on how to book appointments.
They can support you with;
- Mental Health and Wellbeing – the team offer a range of options to help you navigate university life, including wellbeing advice, counselling service, a mental health advisory service plus workshops and events. You can find more information on these and more on the Mental Wellbeing pages.
- Disability Support – on these pages, you’ll find guidance on how to access disability-related study support, what study and assessment support is available, including funding options and much more. We encourage you to connect with our Disability Advice and Guidance team as early as possible to ensure you get the support you need. Simply upload your supporting documentation to the Student Services HUB. Our team will then reach out to discuss your specific needs. We’re here to help you succeed, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.
- Money Advice & Guidance – Managing your finances while studying can be tough and we understand that everyone’s financial situation is different. Our money advisers provide tailored advice and support, helping you navigate any financial challenges you might face.
- Visa and immigration support – Adjusting to life in a new country can be exciting but challenging. Our team is here to make your transition smoother. We offer support with everything from settling into UK life to visa advice and working while studying. Whatever you need, we’re here to help you feel at home.

- Report + Support – as part of our commitment to creating a safe, inclusive environment for you to study and live in, we encourage our students to report bullying, harassment, sexual misconduct, hate crime, assault or discrimination through Report + Support. It’s quick and easy to use, and you can tell us something has happened anonymously if you prefer.
