Visiting the student psychologist is free of charge. What you discuss is completely confidential and nothing will be shared about this to third parties.
When can a student psychologist help you?
The student psychologist can help you:
- With study problems such as fear of failure, procrastination, stress or issues with staying focused;
- With personal problems that get in the way of studying such as gloom, family problems, grief and loss, difficulty making and maintaining contacts, insecurity, negative self-image.
Available support
During the first appointment, you and the student psychologist will consider the best next step. Possibilities include:
- Short set of individual consultations
- Courses, training programmes and workshops
- If necessary, thinking along about an appropriate referral to help outside the university
Student psychologists do not offer treatment for serious psychological/psychiatric problems. If you need specialised or long-term help, contact your GP for a referral.
You can also take one of the online training courses at Gezondeboel. For this purpose, you will need to create an account with your Radboud email address. Visit Gezondeboel.nl.
