Counselling is often more effective when delivered in person. This is why we are happy to announce that in the 2021/22 winter semester, counselling sessions will be available again in person but only by appointment.

You can call or email the social counselling team to arrange for an appointment.

In-person appointments are only available to you if you have either been vaccinated for COVID-19, have recovered from a COVID-19 infection or have recently tested negative for COVID-19. Be aware that you will have to show proof. You will have to wear a surgical mask during your appointment.

In addition, we still offer video counselling sessions.
