How to find us!
Drop-In
Access to the service begins with "Drop-In" (a screening session).
Drop-In is open weekdays (Monday to Friday) from 10:00 to 11:40 except for bank holidays.
No appointment is necessary to attend Drop-In. Simply come along to CM-073 (Main Building) on the day that suits you.
You will be provided an iPad and asked to complete a registration form and some questionnaires. This process takes about 10-15 minutes depending upon how quickly you complete the forms.
One of our Psychology Assistant team will then meet you for a one-to-one 10–15-minute consultation to get a sense of what has been going on for you and to see how we can support you.
Please note, the process of drop-in can take up to 40 minutes to complete (between forms and meeting a Psychology Assistant). On occasion, there may be a wait if others have arrived before you. Please allow time for this process.
Some students are more comfortable when Drop-In is quieter. This is usually the case from 10-11am.
Remote Drop-In is available to students who are on Erasmus or placement outside Limerick. If you require a remote Drop-In, please contact Counselling@ul.ie at least 24 hours prior to the next Drop-in day.
To access further mental health or physical health care in Ireland, it is imperative to be registered with a GP whether this be with the on campus Student Health Centre or a local GP.
Please note that the Student Counselling and Wellbeing Service does not:
- Provide certificates for attendance
- Extend assignment deadlines
- Give interviews for coursework
If you are at risk / suicidal please immediately contact either the crisis liaison mental health team at the University Hospital Limerick (061 301111) or your local hospital, or your GP immediately.
