Personal Support
Hopefully your time at College will be an enjoyable and rewarding experience, however, life can throw problems in your path. Student Services are available to offer help and support to you with any problems or barriers. Student Services is your one-stop-shop to accessing a wide range of services designed to support your physical and emotional needs as well as dealing with your general enquiries.
We can't guarantee we can make all your problems disappear, but we'll do our best to help and we will always provide a listening ear.  We can also connect you with useful external agencies that may be able to support you too.

If you don’t want to speak to someone face-to-face, email the College Agony Aunt - agonyaunt@nhc.ac.uk.  We aim to respond to all your queries within 24 hours.

You can also access support and information via Student Services Online, 24 hours a day.  Just log into Blackboard and check under Courses.  Here you can find useful links and information for a number of key issues facing our learners.

Counselling
The Counselling service provides a team of highly experienced counsellors who are always happy to talk things over with you in complete confidence.  Contact forms are available from the reception desks.  There may be a waiting list, but please be assured that someone will contact you as soon as possible.
