Psychological Counselling

A service for our students.

Psychological Counselling

The UE’s psychological counseling supports students with personal crises and stress as well as with all questions or concerns regarding possible effects on their studies. Our service includes individual counseling sessions. The counseling is strictly confidential and free of charge. Offered languages are English, Polish, German.

You are feeling stuck or haven’t even felt well for a long time?
 
You have questions or concerns about your mental health?
 
Studying in general and studying abroad can be both a rewarding experience and an enormous challenge. Dealing with a new culture and everyday life in Germany without the support of your social network at home could lead to adjustment difficulties. Psychological and physical symptoms can, in some cases, result. If you feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or irritable, our Psychological Counseling service might be able to help you and support you in the improvement of your situation.
