M.Sc. Psychologist, currently training to become a systemic psychotherapist
Students who book an appointment with us come for a wide variety of reasons. For many, it is their first time. Others have already had experience with psychosocial counseling or psychotherapy. No matter what is bothering you, whether it is directly related to your studies or more personal reasons, it is always good to talk about it. Together, we will look at your current situation and find solutions. Often, a single session is enough to help, but sometimes further appointments are helpful. An appointment usually lasts about 60 minutes. The counseling is free of charge for you and is treated as strictly confidential in accordance with professional confidentiality.
