Chat with Charlie

Chat with Charlie is our online mental health support service open to students of the University of Essex. If you, or a student you know, are feeling low, anxious or struggling with your wellbeing please log on to speak to one of our team. We are here to listen and offer you support at this time. We may also be able to suggest other organisations who can help. The service is available to access 7 days per week between 6pm-10pm. You can register to Chat with Charlie using the link above. You will need a current University of Essex email address and access to your account to verify this. Ordinarily a session would last for 40 minutes but you are welcome to chat for as long as you need, and come back as many times as you need.
