Guidance Statement

Glasgow Colleges Regional Board (GCRB) is committed to offering free and impartial advice and guidance to enable you to have the best student and learning experience possible.  The role of Glasgow Colleges is to help you achieve this.

City of Glasgow, Glasgow Clyde and Glasgow Kelvin Colleges each provide impartial, ethical, learner centred advice and careers guidance services for college students and prospective learners to enable them to make informed decisions.  Each College can be contacted for advice and guidance and all enquiries are dealt with confidentially. Services are provided by professional and dedicated staff and individual guidance interviews can be arranged where required.

  • Needs Assessments for learners requiring additional academic support
  • Organising and implementing support for learners with disabilities, difficulties or barriers
  • Assistive technology
  • Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) applications

Counselling

The college counselling service is run by two qualified counsellors and a small team of trainee counsellors. Counselling is a one to one talking therapy, and your counsellor will offer you a warm, safe, confidential space for you to explore any mental health issues that you may be currently facing. Both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centred counselling is available.

At present due to the global pandemic, the counselling team are offering counselling sessions via video chat. Each session will last for roughly 50 minutes, you will usually meet with your counsellor weekly for up to 8 sessions.

To refer yourself for counselling please email us at:

or if you prefer please ask a lecturer to refer you on your behalf.

Please be aware that we sometimes operate a waiting list and referrals will not be seen immediately.

We also recommend you visit the Togetherall where you will have access to a “Guide” (an online advisor) who is available for instant messaging chat 24/7. Guides can sign-post to services, online mental health courses and public forums on Togetherall.

Care Experienced

Glasgow Kelvin College is committed to supporting learners who are Care Experienced.

We work with Action for Children who offer tailored one to one support to care experienced students in each of the Glasgow Kelvin College campuses. The Action for Children STAY worker can provide support in many areas, including, assisting with any barriers to engagement, budgeting support, advice with time management issues and support with mental health. In addition, the STAY worker can help learners with ongoing issues out with college such as housing, employment, homelessness, family disputes and liaising with other professionals.

We want to make sure that learners feel supported and stay engaged with their college course. Finally, any learners who are at risk of dropping out of college will receive help to progress into a positive destination, whether that be employment or further study.

Please email and the STAY worker will get in touch:
