Access the Service

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. 

Please note that during the Christmas break, the service will be close at the end of business on the 23rd December and re-open on the 5th January. Drop-In over the Christmas break will be on the following dates from 10-11.40am:

Tuesday the 23rd December

Tuesday the 6th January

Thursday the 8th January

Tuesday the 13th January

Thursday the 15th January

Tuesday the 20th January

Wednesday the 21st January

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
