Important information
We offer short-term support and conversations aimed at helping you manage challenges in your student life. Some needs require more comprehensive follow-up than we can provide, such as assessments for ADHD, bipolar disorder, or autism spectrum disorders.
That said, we are here for you — and if you're unsure where to turn, we’re happy to guide you and help you find the right path forward.
In urgent situations: Contact your GP or the emergency room 116 117. If there is an immediate risk to life and health, call 113.
Advice for you who are going to a counselling session with a psychologist/therapist:
Set clear goals: Think about what you want to achieve and what challenges you are experiencing. It's normal to be unsure, but the most important thing is that you do your best to reflect on what you need help with.
Look back on previous experiences: Consider what you've tried before, what worked well, and what didn't help. This will give you a better basis for planning the way forward.
Be prepared for effort: You will get the most out of the sessions if you are willing to try things out in your everyday life, in line with what you and the therapist agree on.
Be honest: Openness is the key to good conversations. Take the opportunity to be honest about your thoughts and feelings, both with yourself and the professional you're meeting, even if it can be challenging.
