The University Counselling Service is able to help with drug and alcohol related problems. We work in a non-judgmental way to help you achieve the goals you have set yourself. As you will see from our confidentiality statement we do not normally inform anyone of any illegal activity we hear about in counselling. The only exception to this rule is when there is a clear and immediate risk to someone's life.
