A students sits in a waiting room, fidgeting as she waits to be called. The room darkens as an animated cloud covers the windows.

A counsellor opens the door and calls: "Sarah?"

The cloud disappears and the counsellor continues, "Thanks for coming in. How are you feeling?"

The student goes in to the counselling room, and a voiceover says: "Don't go it alone at Edinburgh Napier. Shrink any concerns by sharing them. Our Counselling and Mental Wellbeing team is on hand if ever you need them."
