The student counsellor is your point of contact for confidential heart-to-heart conversations, advice and information on the following challenges and difficulties:
Confidential matters
Non-education-related issues/personal issues
Personal matters and challenges that are not directly education-related, for example:
Integration/Community
Motivation
Loneliness, homesickness
Relationships and family circumstances
Health, illness and care
Note: The student counsellor does not provide any medical treatment. Suspected disorders/mental health issues that require more specialised or long-term treatment are referred to the GP/medical professionals.
How does the student counsellor system work?
3 hours per week of walk-in hours, with even weeks (2,4) on Tuesday mornings from 9:00-12:00 and odd weeks (1,3,5) on Tuesday afternoons from 13:00-16:00.
Students can book a walk-in or a virtual (Google Meet) appointment, approximately 15-20 minutes. Register for the time slot directly via email to Rens.
Within the same month, students can have follow-up session(s) of around 1.5 hours total per person (can be allocated in one or multiple sessions) if needed.
