The University Psychological

Counselling Centre

The counselling centre is here for all those interested in finding psychological or pedagogical help. At the same time, however, the counselling centre is not a clinical workplace (it does not substitute the care of a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist). In case the client’s issue would exceed competence, experience or time possibilities of our advisors, we will help you to find the proper help.

 

In accordance with the government's policy against the spread of coronavirus, personal consultation cannot be provided at this time. Yet we understand that the need for psychological support and assistance might be particularly urgent nowadays. It is therefore possible to consult by mail, phone or skype (please contact a particular advisor to arrange it).
