Counselling support for SRC is provided by Inspire.

The following short videos provide information about student counselling and the Support HUB https://www.inspiresupporthub.org/students/videos/src 

Counselling Sessions

Student counselling is available for all students in SRC who are struggling with a personal concern such as relationship difficulties, grief, difficult life circumstances, anxiety and depression.

For all Southern Regional College students who are struggling with a personal concern, counselling support is available in partnership with Inspire Students - an independent and confidential counselling service which is available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Students often find it useful to get support from a qualified counsellor who will work within strict professional guidelines and can help with whatever difficulty you may be experiencing.

Drop-in Counselling (Please note that due to Covid-19 restrictions, these sessions are paused until normal College services resume. Should you need to speak to a counsellor, please call the Inpsire 24/7 freephone number on 0800 389 5362)

If you need to speak directly with a counsellor, you can drop into one of the sessions outlined below, where a counsellor will be available on campus. The drop-in counselling service is available in Armagh, Newry and Portadown Campuses as follows:
