S ummary I have set out in this paper some of the problems which face a student counsellor. Relationships need to be established with professional colleagues in the clinical and academic world before information is made available to potential patients. Thereafter, the relationships between the student counsellor and his patients will depend upon the type of clinical service that he is offering for their particular needs. There can be no master plan for a counselling service, but the most satisfactory scheme will use the skills of all available personnel to meet the unique problems that each university community presents. The function of a university is to educate, and the word ‘education’ derives from the Latin ‘educare’–to nourish. The aim of student counselling is to facilitate the process of education, in the original meaning of the word, by providing a range of services for helping students to deal with the complex problems of life.
