I started self harming last year around june, i’ve stopped now and seen a community psychiatric nurse who referred me to see a counselor, although i haven’t arranged to see anyone yet, do i have to inform anyone about my self harming or me seeing a counselor?

The short answer, you can still study nursing. The long answer… It is imperative that you seek serious counselling and psychiatric follow up for your own good. Your mental health issues are private, and unless you tell the nursing school about them, the nursing school has no way of knowing. Keeping it a secret is your decision. On the other hand, these behaviours are commonly a response (an inappropriate response) to stress in your life. Nursing education will be a huge stress, and I fear you may relapse without guidance. Please resolve your mental health issues before you move on. Good luck!
