BOOK A SESSION WITH A STUDENT LISTENER
Welcome (back) to UofG! Our Student Listeners will have bookable sessions for you starting from 30th September.
You can choose to have your sessions either remotely or in-person, based on your preference. Two trained Student Listeners will meet with you to discuss how you are feeling. You can have a quick 10 minute chat or stay for the full hour, it's up to you.
Booking Process:
- Click on the "Book a session" button. This will take you our Student Listeners page on the University's Appointment Booking Service. You may need to sign in to access it.
- You will automatically see all available sessions for Student Listeners. If you want to specify by college, you can use the drop down menu to look at their sessions.
- Choose a session you'd like to attend. Sessions are available in-person or online. Student Listeners are organized by the college they attend, but you can connect with a supporter from any college.
- Pick a suitable date. Available sessions are typically updated every two weeks.
After processing your details, we will send a confirmation email to your student email address. You will also have the option to add the appointment to your calendar (Outlook or other).

- What support do you hope to gain from the service?
What if you can't attend the session?
If you are unable to attend, please notify Student Listeners as soon as possible by emailing us. You can reschedule to a time that suits you!
Our Code of Confidentiality
Everything discussed within a Student Listener session is confidential with two exceptions:
- If something you said gives the peer supporters reason to believe that you are at risk of harming yourself or others, they would pass this information on to a supervisor or relevant staff member.
- If you were to disclose that you've been involved in a serious crime, peer supporters would be obliged to pass this information on to a supervisor or relevant staff member.
