Our university prioritizes offering comprehensive psychological support for students and staff. From autumn 2024, counselling is provided by external professionals (ELTE psychologists) who have gained extensive experience in student counselling at other universities. Counselling is offered to all clients with complete confidentiality. The psychologists adhere to the professional code of ethics and the information discussed is covered by medical confidentiality.
The individual psychological counselling service is available free of charge to both students and staff of the TF.
The consultations provide an opportunity for you to explore, in a protected and supportive environment, with the guidance of a psychologist what changes and adjustments you need and you get support to begin to implement those. Psychologists offer help with challenging life situations, when you feel that you are no longer able to cope with the difficulties alone.
Some examples that often arise are:
- conflicts in family, private life, or at work conflicts
- challenges related to work, learning, achievement or sports
- difficulties in making decisions
- relationship difficulties, difficulties in fitting in
- self-esteem problems, anxiety, problems with managing stress
- challenges with performance, motivation
- loss of a significant person
- you face challenges with life or career planning, or if you feel stagnant in a particular area
Consultations can be booked by email, after which you will be asked to fill in a form. After scheduling an appointment, meetings can take place in person at the university or online.
