There are currently three study psychologists at UEF who offer counselling to bachelor’s and master’s degree students. Study psychologists are licensed practitioners of psychology who help students in all study-related issues. Study psychologists also offer group counselling and play an important role in developing practices that enhance students’ wellbeing at UEF. Discussions with the study psychologists are free of charge and confidential. During your first session with the study psychologist, you will discuss and agree on the focus of the counselling process and possible further meetings. In general, students who seek out counselling will meet up with the psychologist a few times.
With what issues can the study psychologist help me?
With the study psychologist, you can discuss issues and difficulties related to studying, i.e. motivation, learning, stress, stage fright, time management, procrastination or learning difficulties. Study psychologists can also support you in various transition periods, such as returning to your studies after a break or transitioning into working life.
Kindly notice, that the study psychologists do not offer psychological assessments (e.g. assessing learning difficulties or ADHD). Additionally, study psychologists do not diagnose or treat mental health issues. If you feel you require medical assistance or consultation, contact the FSHS or your local health centre.
In acute crises, you can get support from the campus chaplains who are trained crisis workers. The local crisis centres and the crisis helpline also offer support free-of-charge. See further information on the Providers of Support -webpage.

Support for course registration, personal study plans and internships, seek advice from the staff at your faculty. You can find the contact details of all programme coordinators here.
