How our counseling center works
During the first contact, together with a counselor, you will specify what you are coming with and what your needs are. Based on that, you will be offered appropriate services of the counseling center. The cooperation is set primarily for the short term, with the exception of selected longer-term programs (for example, long-term group psychotherapy).
Individual support usually consists of up to eight sessions. If it turns out that long-term psychological or psychiatric care, or systematic psychotherapy, would be more suitable, we will provide you with contacts to other specialized facilities.
Due to the limited capacity of the counseling center, the number of sessions is time-limited. However, you can contact the counseling center repeatedly during your studies or employment – always with a new request. In such a case, it is not possible to guarantee assignment to the same counselor, although we try to take this into account. It is necessary to fill out the registration form again (indicating that you have already used the service). Appointments are assigned according to current capacity; priority scheduling cannot be expected.
How we can help you

- psychological difficulties (e.g., crisis situations, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, psychological discomfort, difficult adaptation, addictions),
- personal problems (relationship and family issues, self-concept, career, coping with challenging periods),
