How can the Faculty Wellbeing Advisors help me?
The Wellbeing team uses a Solution-Focused Coaching model which empowers you to support yourself. Our Advisors work with you to identify your challenges and to find the best routes through these. This can be by introducing you to new coping tools, giving information on specialist services and introducing you to relevant support groups. When you work with an Advisor you are offered a safe environment to explore the challenges you are facing. Then, the Advisor works with you to determine which opportunities are best to take forwards and helps you to create an action plan tailored to your needs.
Some examples of wellbeing areas our team can work with students on:
- Feelings of loneliness or not fitting in at King's/within your community
- Challenges around overwhelm, procrastination, perfectionism
- Troubles navigating which support services might be right for you
- Prioritising competing pressures
