Counselling Service
Short-term counselling services are available at Goldsmiths and can help if you are experiencing problems with anxiety, depression or emotional difficulties. Talking and thinking collaboratively with a professional counsellor often allows for more clarity and new perspectives, which can lead to viewing and dealing with things differently.
Disability Service
If owing to a disability you require additional support or adjustments, including with exams, you should contact the university’s Disability Service. The team there can discuss available options and support with you. At Goldsmiths, we have an inclusive approach to disability, and it is our job to make provisions to help you.

Multi-faith chaplaincy
Goldsmiths is proud of its multicultural community and recognises the importance that faith and spirituality play in the lives of many people.
Through our multi-faith chaplaincy service, we offer pastoral care – a confidential listening service and spiritual support service to anyone in the university community, irrespective of whether or not you consider yourself to be religious.
The multi-faith chaplaincy represents a range of different faiths. They can also provide a list of advisors who belong to a range of faith traditions. Faith advisors can provide you with information about local resources, meetings and prayer groups for your particular faith tradition.
A multi-faith prayer room is located in the Richard Hoggart Building room 2.106.
