The purpose

Psychosocial counselling  for students and employees is aimed at all those who are facing different situations (in the sphere of interpersonal relationships, studies, etc.) that are causing:

• (everyday) issues you want to "talk over" with someone,
• distress, unpleasant experiences,
• a desire to think about the next steps (related to a specific problem, or in life in general, independence, partnership, etc.),
• the need to confront past painful experiences,
• problems achieving goals, motivation problems, etc. and would like to do something about it,
• issues related to self-esteem, identity, LGBTIQ+,
• a desire to improve communication and interpersonal relationships (partner, authority, parents, etc.), assertiveness, etc.

The psychosocial counselling is also open to students who would like someone to discuss with their different views, questions, dilemmas, uncertainties regarding their (future) professional work or issues that arise in the course of your internship, visits, confrontations ... with users and institutions (supervision, coaching) with.

It is also for anyone who is just curious, or would like to chat about themselves, or get some feedback on their activities.
