    Maynooth University  also has a free counselling service available to all students to ​discuss in private with a professional counsellor any concerns which may be impacting on academic performance or personal health and well-being. 

    ​Counselling is generally offered on a one to one basis, is short-term in nature and is strictly confidential. It is provided free of charge.
