About the clinic
The Changing Unwanted BEhaviours (CUBE) clinic is a specialist NHS mental health service within the University Clinic. The CUBE clinic offers assessment and treatment for students experiencing problems relating to their use of alcohol, drugs, or other behaviours such as gaming, gambling and pornography. Our team consists of a consultant psychiatrist and a psychologist, and we frequently host trainee psychiatrists and trainee clinical psychologists on placement.
Who we support
The clinic is a free and confidential service open to all undergraduate and postgraduate students at UCL. Your treatment at the CUBE clinic will not be shared with the University or anyone else without your consent.
What we provide
We provide short-term evidence-based psychological support, such as an initial assessment, psychiatric review or sessions of psychological therapy. This aims to support you with your goal of choice: whether stopping a particular behaviour, gaining greater control, or changing aspects of the behaviour pattern.
We are able to offer face-to-face or video appointments depending on your preference.

Professor Owen Bowden-Jones
I am a Consultant in Addiction Psychiatry at the CNWL Club Drug Clinic, London, and an Honorary Professor at University College London. I founded the CNWL Club Drug Clinic as an innovative service offering treatment for emerging drug problems, including novel psychoactive substances, club drugs, and prescriptions medications which have been acquired online.
My national roles include Chair of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) and national clinical adviser at the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID). I am a trustee of the Society on the Study of Addictions (SSA), and a board member at the International Society for the Study of Emerging Drugs (ISSED). My research interests include emerging drugs harm, particularly in young people.
Dr Andrea Stoltenberg
I am a Clinical Psychologist and the lead Psychologist at the CUBE Clinic at UCL and the CNWL Club Drug Clinic in London. I have been working with children, adolescents and adults in the NHS for the last 8 years. I have a special interest in preventative interventions for mental health and addictions, including working with young adults to support them to understand and manage unwanted behaviour(s) and to combat the stigma attached to addictions. I was part of setting up the CUBE Clinic in 2022 and continue to be involved in research and service development.
