Study psychologists work at the interface of educational guidance and counselling and mental health work. Study psychologists focus on supporting students in learning and in completing their studies. They offer individual counselling, lead study support groups, and provide, for example, study skills -related training.
If you are studying for a Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree at the University of Eastern Finland, you are welcome to reserve an appointment with a study psychologist. During the session, it is possible to discuss difficulties related to your studies. Common issues among students are for example, problems in time management or motivation, learning disabilities, or coping with stress.
Discussions with study psychologists are confidential and free of charge.
Telephone consultation from study psychologists in November and December.
We will reopen bookings in January 2022. In study-related issues, don’t hesitate to contact the staff of your department, and the FSHS in health-related issues.
Support is available from these providers too
- FSHS chat.
