The Psychosocial Counselling Service is aimed at anyone who finds themselves in distress and is having unpleasant experiences in connection with their studies or everyday life, or who want to talk to a specialist about everyday issues in a calm, relaxed and confidential manner.
Please contact the counsellors at the Psychosocial Counselling Service if you have any of the following problems:
- (Everyday) problems that you would like to "talk" to someone about,
- fears, unpleasant experiences,
- the desire to think about the next steps (in relation to a specific problem or life in general, independence, partnership, etc.),
- the need to cope to terms with past painful experiences,
- difficulties in achieving goals, motivational problems, etc,
- issues relating to self-esteem, identity, LGBTIQ+,
- desire to improve communication and interpersonal relationships (partner, authority figures, parents, etc.), assertiveness...
The psychosocial counselling room is also open to students who wish to discuss with someone their different views, questions, dilemmas, uncertainties about their (future) professional work or problems that have arisen in the course of their practise, visits, confrontations ... with users and institutions (supervision, coaching).
It is also intended for anyone who is simply curious or would like to talk about themselves, receive feedback on their work, etc.
Where and when?
The service operates at five locations:
- Faculty of Education (appointments by arrangement), room 405;
- Faculty of Health Sciences (Thursdays at 12.00-14.00), common room on the fourth floor;
- Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (Tuesdays at 12.00-14.00), room 519;
- Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (appointments by arrangement), room 508;
- Student residences Rožna dolina (appointments by arrangement), Residence VI.
Consultation times vary from case to case, so please enquire in advance. In exceptional cases, if it is difficult or impossible to visit the counselling centre "in person", if you are ill, etc., you can arrange for remote counselling, whereby you should generally choose a location that is closer to you and a counsellor with whom you have no other relationship (studies, family, acquaintances, etc.).

Through our training at various specialist, counselling and (psycho)therapeutic schools and our diverse experience in psychosocial support, we ensure that we can adequately cover the wide range of approaches and interventions that students need in different life situations and contexts, while also being able to recognise situations in which someone needs to be referred to other professional profiles. But we emphasise once again: psychosocial counselling is also there for everyday, "ordinary" questions and considerations. Here you can do this unencumbered and in peace, with a professional who will really focus on you at that moment. Anonymity, discretion and confidentiality are guaranteed (i.e. everything you talk about in the counselling room remains between you and the specialist).
