Psychological support
There are two ways to get help. You can make an appointment with a psychologist (individual consultation) and/or follow a workshop, training or attent a group (group activity).
Individual consultation
When you have personal problems/complaints, you can have an individual consultation Examples of complaints and problems are:
- Study related problems like study stress and fear of failure.
- Psychological complaints such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, stress-related complaints, lack of confidence, difficulties making and maintaining contacts, problems and conflicts with parents, family or boyfriend/girlfriend, dealing with traumatic experiences.
It does not have to be obvious what the problem is before an appointment can be made with one of the student psychologists. The first meeting is always an exploratory one and has the aim of clarifying the problem and - naturally - to determine what to do about it. Sometimes one meeting may be sufficient to get someone back on track, but in other cases a number of follow-up meetings may be useful.
Help is always of limited duration. If long-term or more specialized help is necessary, it is decided in mutual consultation which institution would be more suitable for the specific problem. This may result in referral.
The student psychologists are:
Maddy Meijers, Wendy Geijen, Heiny Eilkes and Greet Kellens. They work by appointment.
