At St George’s, we offer a variety of services to support staff, which you can find detailed on this page.
Counselling Service
We offer a time-limited counselling service available to all undergraduates and postgraduates studying at St George’s. The service is also available to university staff.
It is free and confidential.
None of the counsellors discriminate on the grounds of sexuality, race nor religion. They aim at all times to be impartial and non-judgemental.
Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
The Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is available to all employees, free of charge, and is completely confidential—there is no requirement to inform your manager to access support.
The EAP is a 24/7/365 service provided by Vivup, who have been supporting over 2.5 million employees across 2,000 organisations since 2005. Vivup is able to provide accessible, confidential, and professional support to help you navigate any challenges and opportunities you may encounter.
Staff can use the service by calling 0330 380 0658.
Download the EAP leaflet (PDF) for more information. You can also self-register or log in to Vivup here.
