I am a student counsellor and would like to find resources to help me in my work. Could you recommend any online resources that I could use ?

There are some excellent mental health resources which you might be interested in. These links offer multi-media based information, practical support and insights into mental health issues which might be of help to staff or students within your institution who require psycho-social support or who are interested in finding out more about mental health issues.

Living Life to the Full
Developed at the University of Glasgow and available online to be used freely. Based on a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approach which helps everyone how to tackle and respond to issues/demands which we all meet in our everyday lives. http://www.livinglifetothefull.com/

Student Depression

I would stress however that these resources are not designed to replace face to face support within a college or university or referrals to more formal mental health support services if needed. Nevertheless they can provide a first step to helping identify problems or indeed providing resources which may offer people better coping strategies or information about where to source external support.
